RE the reduction in LS, I wouldnt be so sure, they have something up their sleeve, Jet2 are about to start another cabin crew training course in Feb, if we are only keeping 2x 737 and 1x757 then we already have enough crew. I would expect to see at the least another 737 added.
RE the runway works, if there was a restriction like the other year where airport was closed from 2300 to 0600 then what would happen to say the Jet2 royal mail flights that land at about 1-2am ish?! or any charters that land after midnight
