Old aircraft need more downtime and TLC and with the amount of flying the company is doing this summer, it ain't happening. Regardless of what issues other locos may face, the resultant technical delays just make Jet2 look very bad.
The number of tech delays are definetly going through the roof this summer compared to last. I know there's more aircraft operating but the delay to the passengers seems longer this year as a result of the pressure on the aircraft due to the flying programme and amount of aircraft.
Agreed, old aircraft, do, need more maintenance ("TLC") and as a result more downtime, but they can be cost effective but when you operate them the way jet2 do (at the moment) with not enough downtime and manpower, something has to give. At the moment its the passengers who are suffering (the people who pay our wages).
Rome wasn't built in a day, so maybe its time to consolidate and get back to the people who are actually paying for the seats before moving to next level.
I'd love the 767 but lets get good at the current level of expansion before moving on. Alot has happened in the last year!
