pwalhx - I agree I have flown with Jet2 many times and have no problems with LBA either.
However my personal opinion based on many years as an analyst in the industry is that Jet2 are in serious trouble unlike other locos the share price has, in percentage terms, not just fallen but fallen through the floor.
Entering the charter market does strike me as an act of desperation as this sector is the graveyard of many an airline.
I hope im wrong but the data I am seeing indicates that Jet2 will become the first major casualty of 2008 hope Im wrong but lets wait and see!
