Jet2's market is bucket and spade, the long haul is a fallacy that is a long way off, forever talking about it won't make it happen
Jet2 know the best market for them, people may not like their lack of vision or whatnot, but it works, it makes money unlike Monarch. Running two A330s from the likes of LBA,NCL and EMA is a seasonal work, going against Thomson would be a killer for them as Thomson have the better aircraft and other benefits such as all drinks free onboard (excluding champagne) Its simply not Jet2s business model and it would ultimately lead to a decline in the market at EMA and NCL where they would drive themselves and Thomson out of the place due to lack of profit..
Also, just 2 A330s isn't cheap maintenance wise and the type rating
