Cornwallis,
Haven't you ever asked Miami VHF for New York's HF frequencies to save yourself the hassle of wading through your best guesses and getting no answer? The list may well be published, but it's much easier if you know which freqs they are actually using that day. Canaries/Santa Maria is no different.
bat.man,
I don't think that Jet2's B737's are doing Tango routes yet, so it was probably at B757 - in which case any lack of flight deck paperwork is down to Titan, the AOC holder as at 18th January.
