TJ747 when you say 2 a/c 3 bases - one will suffer and I have to agree with you.
At the moment NCL seems to be the most well performing base within FJE. Full flying programme, both during summer and winter, with fairly good reputation being established. Ditto for MAN, as far as flying programme goes. LGW has no firm flying programne for rest of summer or winter. However with NCL being the newest baby will it be them that suffer or will it be HQ? nothing is predictable in Flyjet.
We do, however, if the right investment is made and decent contracts gained have the potential to be a quality, small charter operator. FJE crews consistently get positive reactions and we are one of the only charter companies left where everyone gets a hotmeal. So management, lets make this work at all of our bases and make something we can be proud of.
Oh and finally, lukeylad, here here!!! Give us a chance

Oh lets look at the evidence.
One skint airline, but with pilots, aircraft and everything set up, including recent application for scheduled flights.
One paper airline (ok a few staff), no pliots, no aircraft, who want to do scheduled flights and £25 million to spend.
Could it be Goldjet?
Could it be Bronzejet?
umm! Now whats left??

How do you know that FJE are skint? Nobody but people involved in finance would be privvy to such information! Its funny, that ever since day 1 people have said we'll run out of money, or they'll go under - never last, yet we are still here flying around.
Sure, the management might have alot of fingers in alot of pies, but I think we are a long way from skint. What we have to do withn Gold/bronze or Silverjet, nobody knows among general staff, but it possibly should there be some kind of merger (not saying there will) could be a good thing, though don't think FJE will give up the run of the mill stuff, i.e holiday charters. Keeps company going, particularly MAN/NCL where decent length agreements are in place.

Suggesting that FJE are skint is just a pereption based on information on this thread which suggests they have had a bad summer (subbing in a Thomas Cook A330 does not come cheap), and whose paying for a 767 sitting in Lasham or wherever it is.

1 Aircraft - 3 Bases?!?!?!?!?
How on earth are Flyjet keeping this one rolling, they have FJEB seriously 'unwell' with major engine problems in the hangar and are now using FJEA to cover both MAN and NCL bases... You will see that NCL flights are suffering up to now a 3 hour delay... this is because the a/c is covering the night TFS from MAN to then be shipped back to NCL to cover the programme there... How much in landing fees alone, how much embarrassment for the crew, did Excel know what they'd let themselves in for when they contracted this work out to Fly Jet?
TCX535K 07:45 IBIZA DEPARTED 0759
FR173 07:50 DUBLIN DEPARTED 0823
FJE606 08:05 PAPHOS CHECK-IN 32 - 34 DELAYED PROV 1100
SN2188 08:15 BRUSSELS DEPARTED 0831
BE142 08:55 SOUTHAMPTON GO TO GATE 10 *** LAST CALL ***
BA1325 09:10 LONDON HEATHROW GO TO GATE 3
How long can this airline keep this up? I worry for the crews and the people involved, this has to come crashing down sooner or later?

Life is indeed a beach!!! Why so quick to bash FJE..everyone has tech delays...the issue is magnified when you have a small fleet...how about talking to the CAA with EC sitting at Lasham ready to fly and ATOL holders able to cover the financials for charter operations what are the consumer protection branch getting at... EC could gave been used to cover the gaps here..

FJE are not skint!!!!!! End of
Over the winter season Flyjet came 4th in OTP which is a huge increase from last year and are proud of. This is higher than major airlines First Choice, Monarch and Excel.
The winter season is now available on the flyjet website which is currently being updated.
This shows flights from Newcastle and flights for the thailand routes starting this year.
So crew please don't take note of any of the crap on here, things are happening for a reason.

Flyjet does not currently recruit its own ground staff . But sub-contract this in.
Contracts may change ( cantering/cleaning services ) for next year but nothing is for certain for summer 2007 as of yet...

nicksfix well said, how about some people making some positive comments on an independant charter airline, with excellent staff and crews and an improving OTP record.
However, FJE1 maybe you need to release another staff newsletter and keep us updated on whats happening, putting these rumours to rest! If its one thing that annoys us staff here at FJE it is the not knowing and feel like we are being kept in the dark. The last newsletter was quite useful in that respect.

lgwechobravo- I am glad you agree that the positive comments are a great thing to see.
The recent newsletter that was to be issued was scrapped, due to the huge amount going on and changing.
I am sure you know and the rest of the staffs do that big things are going on, and it would not be fair to release the infomation for it to changed and make flyjet another slag off on here.
No.1 seems to know whats going on apart from those at the top. But when the info is ready everyone will know i'll make sure of it.
Flyjet said they will return to longhaul this year and they have, you should expect many fantastic trips and an excellent suntan.
I'll admit not much flying going on at some bases, but is all for a reason. IE- market change for the company now focusing on new target range etc ( a little bit more info for u there)
Who knows if the summer charters we now have will return next year or if the company will just focus on a different product.Have to wait and see what we can get.
Enjoy the time off as its going to get BUSY.
and to answer the 767 question - we have one
it will fly Flyjet is ready for it to start its engines once more but the CAA need the fuel to get going.
and for winter OTP and summer 
who knows

Did FJE not sign a contract with XL for charter flying for 3 years, MAN and NCL - the reason NCL was opened? Does this mean that we could withdraw from this contract, which at the moment seems to be our income?
What employees want to know is that is there light at the end of the tunnel, which at the moment in our vision is quite a dark tunnel? and are we secure (secure as we can be in the airline industry)?
