Do you.... Not, like Jet2 Sean?

I really do hope they get the MON A330's... Then they might expand and finally get some of the EK frames.

I see logic in it - Don't bother reconfiguring the aircraft, keep 374 seats in the MON frames and 278 in EK's and use the MON ones for high density routes from MAN and the EK ones for high density and long haul from the rest of their bases.

LS may want to reconfigure the MON aircraft with their own seats because there's no PTV's, apart from the premium section up front, unless they do away with it and increase to 380+ seats. If they got EK ones they could keep the same interiors or possibly be reupholstered - exactly what Virgin Australia did. After all why get rid of the IFE when it's already there and will definitely be a draw for passengers. NCL/EMA/LBA-TFS with IFE? Yes please!

Another plus I can see is that 278 seats isn't much more difficult than filling a 757 from airports like NCL, LBA, EMA, GLA and definitely MAN, but still offers more capacity than a 738 on short haul.
