All UK departures are now low priority by almost ALL scheduled carriers EZY (and co), WZZ (and co), RUK (and co), BAW (and co). It’s too easy to procrastinate on EU261 pay outs these days, (and politically there are those with the levers of power want it totally gone !)
WZZ have still to settle COVID claims and continue to cancel UK departures as does EZY en mass , Ryanair will also cancel UK ops .
BAW/CFE/EFW are simply following the trend of ever declining service standards accepted within the UK market place .
BTW - Lufthansa group have similar issues with Eurowings in particular and The AF branch of AFKL have to deal with numerous general strikes (manifesting) on a rolling basis ( they may have fallen from UK media but they ain’t gone away !)
Jet2 are a holiday company with an airline attached they can barely afford to p**s off their captive clients especially with bills to pay for that accommodation and meals AND pay delay compensation at the same time and further pay out for their bond to ATOL AND CO.
The traditional inclusive tour still has some advantages and protections afforded to the customer .
