I fee sorry for the crews at FJE - lgwechobravo shoudl not have to use this to communicate with management. Absolutely not! It is a public forum and it is being used as a staff notice board.

Any crew at FJE can come speak to anyone at any time......

The NCL contract is 3 yrs....

The winter program we have is 3 years on the Thailand’s...
All the info I can give is given.

What seems to be might not always be the case, e.g. -so don't assume that is the only sauce of income.

After the worry last year Flyjet now works with a company who actively seeks work for the airline constantly. So nobody should be worrired about the turnover of the airline and the worry of work.


A fourth a/c is still on the cards for next year.....
As said in the last post the 767 is ready to go and isn't on Flyjet's hands its awaiting the CAA. So nothing we can do........



I only come on here to see what poeple are saying about the company, and try to make things better as I know its hard to come talk to management without the thought of getting fired. This is not the case if you want to talk, come and see us and explain your concerns.

Looks like another bad day at Manchester, its now 14.15 and the 07.10 flight to Dalaman hasn't left yet, also it says on the arrival board that it is due to land back at MAN at 01.45 not 16.55 as planned.

Hope you have a good run soon,

It's been the same story for a week or so. Subbing in Atlanta B743, Thomas Cook A332, EuroAtlantic B763 all to replace a B752. Must be costing Flyjet an absolute arm & a leg.
Shame the flying programme has gone so pear shaped, must be heartbreaking for the crews to be sat at home.

Mr A tis I take it your last sentence is said with a hint of sarcasm.
Looking at the flights Nato35 has mentioned, I would much prefer to sit at home than operate those. Friday night CFU nasty- I have shivers down my spine!!

Question

No sarcasim intended I'm afraid.
IF EB operated to CFU Friday night from MAN, it didn't come back !!
The Friday flight is delayed until tonight ( sat) & being operated by Excel.
So don't know where EB is.

EB is very very poorly in manchester. Its just one of those things I guess. But with a small fleet its more noticable than with other larger airlines. So when this happens nothing goes and has to get sub'd out.
Should be flying for tonights 22:55 RHO or tomorrows LCA depending on if the parts arrive.

Is the latest rumour true, that the CAA are investigating FJE's practices and aircraft?

Thats the latest doing the rounds. Sometimes staff find it quite hard to shrug of the rumours that circulate, particularly those of this gravity, which generate so much discussion, slagging off etc as Flyjet seem to do on here and other internet based chats. Not only the internet, but the general industry as a whole. Sometimes I just hope for another small airline to start up and give people some other company to slag off and start rumours about.

Get well soon EB, you're giving me a complex!!!

EB is all better and is now on route to SSH.

NO other airline needs slaggin off coz its new. No airline deserves to have this.

Plus the CAA are not investigating Flyjet and is just another thing sum1 has thought up to make the company seem crap, when in fact it is a nice airline to work for when its going smoothly like all airlines.
If the CAA had any doubt the A/C would be grounded and the company would be no more.

I hope EB or EA which ever one is doing the 10 am flight to larnaca is feeling top draw as its going to have to carry all my mrs luggage
I must admit Flyjet seem to get a hard time on here , ive flown once before with them on this route and found them on time and i cant fault the cabin crew very friendly whilst still being proffesional and im looking forward to Flying with them tomorrow

Shame it isn't continuing into the summer season, results for the first 3 months show Flyjet pegged to the bottom of the league table again: http://www.flightontime.info/summer2006.

The detailed Flyjet page shows an average delay at Manchester of 131 minutes!! (http://www.flightontime.info/charter...nes/fje06.html). That must be some kind of record.

man tfs 19/9

just thort id say flew to tfs on tues with flyjet as a cosmos charter only booked the day before and got it well cheap, have to say all credit to the guys working there , was one of the best flights have been on, have to say after reading the posts on here i was thinking that i might get to airport and find the plane nowhere in sight..but watched it come in while waiting in departures ,left on time got to tfs 10 mins early, cabin crew were great, excellent infact, had several announcements from flight deck and have to say the service given overall, compares well if not was better than what had off thomson/monarch or first choice ... anyway just wanted to say keep up the good work guys, do what your doing now and things can only look up,
appologies for waffling on but , seem theres a lot of people out there that dont seem to be happy unless there knocking the little guys, just wanted to say ur doing a great job.. and no i dont work for flyjet , just slf who like planes......

take-off, thankyou for your comments. Flyjet do offer a very good service onboard and its crews are very dedicated, with a great deal of experience.

Nice to see a positive comment for a change.

no probs my friend, was a great service, cant remember now if we had the cheesey music to take off/land too, bit the what the old britannia 'Royal Service' was like back when britannia was a good airline.unlike the flight back with Lte/myair total cock up by ground with seating had people sat all over place not together in wrong seats, crew were miserable, had people moving all over the place.... couldnt of been any different...

Flyjet do have the makings of becoming a respected, niche charter carrier. Not a 'normal' charter operator similar to the likes of FCA, TOM etc, but a carrier who flies adhocs, scheduled services to further flung places etc.

I'd say all we need to improve pax reactions is cabin interior makeovers and to definately improve OTP.
