AB and AE with hopefully the addition of winglets.

Not only will they look extremely cool they'll give better performance and higher take-off weights from LBA and more importantly, at the current price of fuel, will pay for the cost of fitting them in 3 years. If fuel prices go up more, then that time scale will be even faster. Also, it'll increase the value of the aircraft.

Leasing an additional 757 at this time of high 75/76 prices, I imagine, is more cost effective. So far, all of Jet2's charter work has impressed those who we've chartered for and it looks like the management have found another neiche market in the north (well done to them) . Jet2 are currently having to turn down charters due to lack of aircraft, so AJ will be busy enough. She'll also be covering those aircraft who'll be having their C checks.

Lets hope we're all expecting annoucements for massive profit increases this time next year.
