I think the main issue for Jet2 is the little we hear from the top.
I for one am glad that PM is at the helm when times get a little rough. He got Channel Express through the crisis of Sept. 11 ok, albeit they were mostly a cargo company and I think I'm right in saying the company has been profitable since it started. However, if he could just show a little compassion for staff who are doing their best to lower fuel costs and maintain high safety records!
I wouldn't of bought shares in Dart Group (owners of Jet2) had I not belived the company will strive forward.
I feel a promise of larger pay rises for when the company makes a bigger profit, hopefully next year, might increase moral as well as a simple 'thank you' every now and then.
As I mentioned on a seperate forum, cutbacks on less profitable routes, fuel and other cost savings as well as more charter work should hopefully see Jet2 back on the offensive. Don't forget the company grew extremely quickly in 06 / 07 and spent vasts amounts of money on aircraft, route aquistion etc.
I'm not defending the company as such, just don't think we need to be as worried as those chaps in Silverjet / Oasis / Globespan yet.............. I hope!
