In what way do you consider NW demand to be under 'pressure'? The MAN operation appears to be thriving and Jet2 seem very happy with it. Flights are rarely delayed, customer feedback is strong, and most importantly the customers keep rebooking. Including me. I'm flying with them again in just under a fortnight. There is no impression of them being under "pressure" when I've used them through MAN ... they're one of the best staffed and best run operations around. Very professional.
I actually think the next Jet2 base will be a reopening of either ALC or PMI which were active pre-covid. They offer down-route resilience and could be used to establish a presence into smaller UK airports, or offer arrivals at the busiest UK hubs between the departure waves of the based fleets.
