Mr Brown's comments on Jet 2 aircraft being worked hard (and consequently in need of more TLC and therefore Tech delays) surprised me a bit, as often when passing thru LBA I am struck by what I see as an apparent relatively low utilisation of aircraft compared to charter operators who will normally work an aircraft on three rotations a day with very little slack for unplanned maintenance and likewise very few gaps in the schedule to catch up on delays. I do realise some of the 737 are QC aircraft and operate night mail flights but would be interested if someone in the know from Jet 2 could map out a typical days operations for an aircraft.
