The big problem for them though, is would they be able to fill a B738 on these short sectors (since Jet2 are phasing the B733 out and MAN/BHX/STN have no B733's based). 189 seats might be too much for them.
Routes like that would be better suited to smaller A/c. Flybe's -8's and E-jets spring to mind as suitable, but they're just incompatable with Jet2 and their core market
i may be wrong but I'm sure it's because the 738 is too big for jersey. The EZY 319 seems to be pushing it every time I land there, I think it's LBA only as MAN, BHX etc don't have 733's. I know TOM used to operate the 733 their before they got rid of their final two examples. Again I assume they binned it because jersey can't handle a 738
