Any Spotters/Jet2_738 want to take a shot as to who/type the wet/damp leases will be this summer?
... Privilege will NOT be turning up
Does anyone know if the purchase of 30 new 737-800s is part of a plan to eventually go to a simplified 1 aircraft type fleet? If so when are the 737 - 300s and 757s likely to leave the fleet? I assume that as Jet2 are still picking up used 737-800s that they intend to run a mixed fleet of new and second hand for some time.
757 and 300 fleet due to retire post 2020. Both are being refitted with expensive equipment, so unlikely to be disappearing soon. Presumably most 757s will stay. Significant money has been spent fitting winglets to some 300s and not others, which tells its own tale.
As to consolidation towards a streamline 800 fleet; those "in the know", you know, those "knowledgable" management pilots who assured us Airbus was a done deal, are now telling us that the 30 new NGs may include 900ERs. And even more laughable, a Max or two!
