Thanks for the update on the fleet and new future additions.


It was two years next October that JET2 were advertisiing for B767 Type Rated pilots and although there were leasing contracts for B763s drawn up, they were never signed.


Now the rumours are about again and the odd sign on the ground that a couple of B763s may be joining the fleet. Curiously MartinAir are returning 3 B763ERs (just under 20 years old) on 30 October 2011, as they are converting to freight only as from 1 November 2011. The maintenance history on these B763s should be reliable and if the engine types are acceptable, here is a good opportunity for JET2 and just in time.


The New York trips were also run last year but don't think they are market testers.


IF........ the B763s are ever leased by JET2, they will probably be used initially to cover high density routes.
