most other operators can do it like the thomson flight from leeds to tenerife thay bus crew from manchester which is less money but jet2 dont have a base in the south so thay would ether have to put crew up in hotels for a few days or have crew based at southend but wouldt worth it for 3 days i just cant see jet2 basing or part basing an aircraft at southend and i think that there will be to much competition from airlines flying from near by stansted where flights would problay be cheaper
