Maxjet Washington-Stansted yesterday
Apart from the developments at Dullas, I was very impressed with the total package on offer, the location of the lounge and gate at Dullas was perfect. The flight was perhaps 75% full, with a "heavy" uniformed crew, plus at least 6 off duty staff travelling too.
The cabin service was excellent, and totally desolved the belief that all american cabin crew are *********
Only complaint is the inability of the IFE unit, to be safely secured to the seat back, to enable viewing whilst eating, etc.
The "unexpected" missed approach at Stansted was "due to traffic not cleared the runway", but as we were well otside the marker, with no gear down, I was a little sceptical.
I would wish MaxJet the best of luck with the service, and would certainly use them again.

Washington isn’t looking so promising though at present, just 42 pax per flight, but again that is an increase on April which was pretty poor. Perhaps the extra weekly flight starting this month will benefit them.

Let's start a rumour.
Maxjet buy out Eos, Spurlock pockets a few million, they flog off the 757s, stick about 15 of the Eos sleeper seats in the front cabin of each of their 767s, and offer both services on the same aircraft.
Actually Maxjet seem to be capturing some attention in the UK as well, there's a continuing "infomercial" on LBC radio in London with free flights as a competition prize. It must get them a lot of exposure for the spend.
They probably aren't affecting the revenue of BA/VS/AA greatly (apparently transatlantic business travel is well up overall this year) but there will be a small nuisance value.
