I was thinking of operational and flight-deck crews. Presumably there are a number of management, training pilots, training programmes and maintenance regimes needed for each fleet type, which would not be required with a wet-lease. After the demise of Thomas Cook many of these people may be looking for new jobs. If they have families, partners and other commitments in Manchester, brining that experience to Jet2 could be a win for both parties.
