Flyjet
Finnair usually keep their own senior on the wet-lease. If you add the Finnair 757 into the equation of the FJE + XLA crews mixing, you therefore could have a situation where three airlines' crew are operating side-by-side on the same aircraft. How on earth do you manage that?
Rumour also had it that their technical director had been put on gardening leave having blown his stack with the CAA about the 767 a couple of weeks ago.
FJE are searching for a chief pilot now.

Not surprised technical director has blown his stack - walking through T1 the other day two thirds of the fleet parked up.
FJE 757 G-EB parked outside hangar not going anywhere the 767 growing roots on its remote stand and to top it all FJE running 24hrs late on a SSH (guess they subbed it) and 14hrs late on a LCA!! Must have been a nightmare day for them. Best of luck!!!

... and they've been doing really well up until now. I flew PMI-NCL few weeks back on the FJE617, we were all loaded up apart from a few empty seats when the Captain came on and said "were missing some pax". Well our slot came and went, "the next one being an hour later" he announced, just as the bus pulled up with the said pax. I assume a ready message went in because 30 mins later we were pushing back, made good time on the return and landed only a few mins late. Most of the time they get the blame when its not really their fault, although 5 hours this time suggests it wasnt missing pax. Really enjoyed my first taste of FJE with no complaints, and would fly them again.

Why do you use this forum as a staff newsletter? Surely it would be more polite to distribute an in house news letter. Do you not value the importance of your staff and the contribution they make.
By the way you have confused "their" with "There". Not good.

Cut the guy some slack - you're way out of line;
- This forum is full of speculation about Flyjet.
- It's a confused picture for staff and clients.
- Someone from Flyjet management posts a relatively clear summary of the position, which is useful and entirely appropriate.
- You then ask why he hasn't thought of issuing a staff newsletter (which might be reproduced on this thread in a week's time if we're lucky),
- You criticize his grammar (Prune is the internet's homepage for appalling syntax, spelling, punctuation and grammar, in case you hadn't noticed), and
- You infer by implication that posting to Prune is impolite to staff and shows a lack of appreciation of the contribution they make.
In case you hadn't noticed, FEBA, the world of independent charter airlines in the UK is a very difficult, nasty, dangerous business environment where survival requires extraordinary efforts and resources. You're surrounded on all side by predatory giants - aircraft lessors, vertically integrated tour operations turning over billions, massive low cost carriers, the CAA. The guys at Flyjet are giving it their best shot. I don't know who you are, but I'll lay money that you couldn't do better.

As long as it is going well for FJE at NCL. As has been said pax seem to be pleased with the service they offer and all airlines suffer delays outside their control. Besides their a/c do look rather nice on the NCL scene.

I send my apologies for my poor grammar as I came across this post yesterday and things wasn't so good at FJE yesterday as both A/C decided to go TECH at the same time, so I rushed what I had written. All things are now back on track and delays should fade out by the end of the day. I do admit this does not look good on the company, but these things do happen. The problem has been fixed and both A/C are now running fine.
All I can say to FJE staff is to please be patient and await future information soon to be released. Infomation has been limited for some time as things are currently changing daily when final it will be announced.
I would also like to ad that I post positive information on this website so that negative and untrue comments do not get out of hand.
