WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING...
With sustained, secure growth and aircraft deliveries planned until 2035, now is a great time to join Jet2 as a Second, First or Senior First Officer on our Airbus A321 fleet.
146 new Airbus A321neo aircraft are being introduced to our fleet over the coming years, with current direct entry positions available at:
- London Stansted
- Manchester
- London Gatwick

Jet2 is the UK’s number one tour operator and a firm customer favourite. To achieve this, our UK bases are self-handled, reducing our reliance on third parties for ground operation services.
Each base is managed by a current line Captain supported by a dedicated crew development team, there to manage your professional and personal journey.
We operate an all-year-round command upgrade process, based on your merits and aspirations with mentoring and support from your base management team.
If you would like to be considered to become a Jet2 Second, First or Senior First Officer on our Airbus A321 fleet, you will need to meet the following criteria:
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
