Somewhere in PPRuNe someone said sometime back, that Boeing have a number of Dreamliners for sale with a hefty discount, that were the first off the production line and which ANA refused to take because they were not up to standard. In total there are five of these B787s and three have RR engines. Perhaps JET2 have pulled out all the stops and are taking two or three of these early production Dreamliners. Bearing in mind they are being offered at a hefty discount and they have RR engines, they would appear to meet most of JET2’s requirements........................IF....... BIG....... IF, they intend to have a go at long haul, as they have been proposing to do so since 2010. On the other hand the UK long haul market would appear to be ripe, at this moment in time, for another LH operator to step in.
