That's indeed my understanding... my question being: where did they come from ?
I would be very surprised for Jet2 to have local relief crew on standby.
If they had to fly them how did it happen so that the eventual delay was "only" 3.75h as reported ?
Their closest base would be Palma de Mallorca but still quite impressive if they managed to scramble a relief crew from there, fly them to Corfu and end up with such a "limited" (all things considered) delay. Or maybe they were “prepositioned” on an other inbound flight from UK ?
