Don't be deterred - as one who is also interested in the fortunes of Jet2, I found your post to be interesting and relevant. After all they keep my local airport, BLK, going! In my opinion it was wrong of the Mod to take that swipe at you.
Back to the facts - I understood that Jet2 owned its aircraft outright, but from researching the registration history of the new one as outlined above, is it possible that this one is leased?
The Mod didn't take a swipe at anyone. Rather he was giving a gentle prod to all to get the thread out of the registration and liverly posts which, by PPRuNe definition, are firmly in the spotter realm, and back on track. This is neither a new nor a shocking policy. While we generally look the other way for 1-2 posts when they start gathering momentum we step in.
Note that flybars post 2858 below is an example of doing it right. Information that has a business impact, then out.
Lastly, don't take it personally as it certainly isn't intended that way.
