Clown,
You are obviously a very very very experienced traveller,not.
Laws or no laws, only the mainline airlines can afford to throw money around.
In fact, even they cannot do anymore.
By public demand,the good old days are over.
The new airlines must control their costs or die.
As for Jet2. After having used them probably 100 times,they are for sure a cut above the rest with an excellent business model.
Very professional,nearly always on time or even early.Great pilots.
I have travelled the world and flown with hundreds of airlines,and Jet2 have got it right.I reckon they wont be too bothered about loosing your business and that of your ill informed friends clown.
My flight this morning? perfect.
