Jet2....MD82
Whats the story with Jet2 flying a TF reg all white MD82 out of Leeds whilst half a dozen 737's are parked up at Leeds?
I find it hard to believe that this can be down to crew shortages, the Summer season is just days away.

Are you a month in front. The summer doesnt kick in until May 1st.
Scheduled airlines tend to start about March 27th/28th and go until October 27th/28th.

As of today the following frequency increases come into play on Jet2's LBA operation.
AGP - double daily
ALC - double daily
PMI - daily
NCE - daily
MJV - double daily on SAT/SUN
plus of course the MAN operation has been ramped over the last week or so with the commencement of services to VLC, FAO, NCE etc.
The a/c requirement for the Leeds base fluctuates between 7 and 9 based a/c depending on day of week / low/high season.

TF-JXA,TF-JXB are both doing flybe flights out of bourmouth and southampton, while flybe await the delivery of there two new 733 a/cs. The best thing bout the md-80's they have
1.larger capacity
2. they do much faster turn arounds
3.they are cheap wet lease.
This is why often at night they park up at airports like southend and southampton, to keep their operating costs down.
Jet2 has not got the marget for the winter period out of leeds and bradford, where as at Manchester they atre turning around every hour on the hour to several places, included in Jet2's routes.
Surely jet2 would be best operating these parked up spare a/cs into Manchester,Gatwick and Edinburgh. Jet2 need to be more effiecient now as they will soon recieve some competition with the up and coming fly globespan, and their new 737-800s.
All that I have heard is the main lessors of the 2 current mds hope to increase the lease to four of them very soon. It is also rumoured that a JetX, TF-JXC is in operation for someone else on the ski flights out of paris CDG.

You say LBA doesent have the market for winter? (I think).... Thats not true, doesent matter now anyway, we are now in summer!
3x Daily Malaga
2x Daily Alicante
2x Daily Murcia
2x Daily Belfast
2x Daily Amsterdam
2x Daily Palma
Daily Faro
Daily Prague
Daily Nice
Daily Pairs
4x weekly Venice
4x Weekly Ibiza
At least 1x daily Geneva during the winter (2x daily at weekends).
No market?
Oh - and how will Jet2 be affected by FlyGlobespan? They only operate out of GLA and EDI.

Of more interest is where on earth are the public finding such vast amounts of monies to be flying with such frequency to so many destinations. Expect loads to be higher as well for the wedding / election with more people trying to escape the media frenzy.
With such ease of access by TF registered a/c can we expect to see more services operated by outsiders. TF is not even in the EEC.
