Look lets get it clear about Jet2 at EMA they have thus far been an IT operation and have yet to go head to head with babay or Ryanair at EMA on ticket only sales, plus all of their flights have been to places covered by the more established IT operators who have upped their offerings for 2011

They may have lower flight crew cost, baby Captains get between 12k-20k a year more and the F/o rates are near double, but Jet2 have a mixed fleet and have to cover night mail which may well go when the P/O is part privatised later this year.

baby have lived with Ryanair for more than a few years now and Jet2 know only to well what that has done to yields on the Leeds routes that go head to head.
