Sub charters

On the one hand I want to congratulate Jet 2 for keeping the show on the road & not having to cancel services. However, over the last week or so they have had numerous diversions & had to employ the services of Air Italy, Germania, Avion, Euro Atlantic, Air Explore, Strategic, Hi Fly, Baby & probably others too.

How sustainable is it for a loco to maintain this level of sub chartering ?

Even PM must be questioning the cost effectiveness of keeping an elderly fleet going. Or maybe this level of sub chartering has already been factored into the operation, as the airframes / leases are so cheap (?)

Jet 2 is a great Northern based airline, is it time that they switched to some more modern aircraft with less reliability issues?
