Hmm righthandrule, LS aren't worried? Jet2 aren't exactley the biggest airline and as JET2KRAZEY spoke about just moving into the holiday market, it wouldn't work.
Never once did I say there weren't people within the LBA who didn't have money, that was a tongue in cheek remark. Yes we will see what will become of this in 12 months time. Niche routes and high yielding routes destroyed, passengers always vote with their feet.
Example. BE tried BHD/LPL a good while ago. What happened? Cancelled the route, no passengers. RYR opened BHD/LPL. What happened? Frequency is being increased to 3x daily, with very nice healthy loads.
Those patch work quilt tractors sorry I mean this very modern 20 year old+ 737-300s aren't of the highest reliability are they? Meanwhile one of the most modern jetliners currently the 737-8AS are crossing the pond monthly and being slotted into the rotations and the older 7-8 year old ones are on there way out. Who's more operationally reliable?
JET2 will cut back, and lets face it RYR can sustain very low fares for quite a long time.
BTW just because you interact with the passengers on a daily basis, doesn't mean much. the LS monopoly is coming to an end. Why waste money to board a tatty 733 when you are able to board a nice modern jetliner plus its alot cheaper.
