JET2
By any measure Jet2 has been a runaway success. It kicked of at Leeds 3 years ago with a new brand and now operates 20+ 737-300 and 2 or 3 757-200. I have yet to hear a passenger have anything but praise for them. No rumours of doggy engineering or poor quality flight crews. The guys i know that work there seem more than happy (all pilots moan the world over) but they seem content, the rosters are i am told stable and don't seem to work anything like the guys i know in Baby or Easy.
After rolling through Leeds they opened Manchester, BOH, NCL and now BPL and have just announced that they are moving their operations centre to Leeds.
So whats the secret, right place right time, right equipment right price, or is just down to that often missing quality (in airline management terms) very good management.
What ever it is well done to all involved, you've changed LBA from a flying club into an airport. Time for it to be renammed PMI (Philip Messon International)
Well done
