The only word I have seen on Jet2's 757 is that it is slated to operate the TFS flight which is 3 times a week I believe so highly unlikely to keep 2 aircraft busy.
There have been some rumours one will operate the LBA-AGP flights so guess there is room for more speculation.
On the subject of routes our of Manchester, as I have mentioned before they still mention Manchester - Amsterdam & Edinburgh as still to come for winter. Highly unlikely to do this I would have thought if they were dropping the routes, but still leaving things late too.
Pisa was always planned to end early October so one would guess it was planned as a Summer only route, guess we shall see if thats true if they bring it back next year.
There still seems to be gaps in the schedule will be interesting to see if they do move aircraft or plan more routes.

Latest I've heard is that Westjet are planning an international expansion to the UK including Manchester. Apparently they are to get 757s for that task. Route would likely be YYZ-MAN.

Can anyone enlighten me into what happened with the Air Atlanta 747 - TF-ABA, this morning.
Was it suppose to take off from runway 24L or did the crew mess up and miss the fact the they had swapped departures onto 06L?
Does this happen often at Manchester?

Yes it does happen when there is very little wind and 06L for take off as it is up hill and if the aircraft is very heavy they sometimes opt for a 24L take off or a 06R
as Malasian did the other day

T3 Expansion
So does this mean that the airport authority has finally reached an agreement to buy the land occupied by Males Garage - I would be very surprised if that was the case, because they have been trying to do it for years without any success.

The back of Males garage is bieng demolished as we speak.Alpha are moving out of there building and relocating over to West site.The airport own the road from T3 to the airport pub and sometime in the future that road will be no more.
Its quite possibe it will not be an extention of T3 but may become T4.
