As an ex-Channex (Zantop)L188 & F27 crewmember I was in CGN as the operation was packing up, it was very strange sitting in the airport holiday inn bar with the channex crew (Phill was the FE) drinking a beer, even the barman was the same, it could have been 10 years ago when we would see three Electra's on the ramp.
I have fond memorys of all but the last six months of Channex and it was sad to see it all evaporating before my eyes but I am glad that I left when I did, I don't think that I would like Jet2 very much but I hope that I am wrong for the sake of the people that I worked with at Channex.
