Hmm, all airlines do have delays, but the airport stats for Manchester and Gatwick suggest that they don't have delays in the same quantity as Flyjet:
July
Average delay on charter flights at Gatwick 24 minutes
Flyjet 44 minutes
Average delay on charter flights at Manchester 22 minutes
Flyjet 50 minutes
No airline is free from delays (particularly at this time of year) but it does seem as though some suffer a lot more than others....

In defence of Flyjet, they seem to operate well out of NCL, atleast before they subbed in Finnair to operate for them during jul/aug. Their time keeping was excellent during FJE a/c operated flights, apart from one small hiccup!
In fact, their reputation at NCL is/was far superior to some of the more established carriers, TOM, TCX, XLA (!!!) who seem to be suffering this year.

The delay on the MAN - TFS & PFO was due to one of our aircrafts needing maintenance last Tuesday. EB operated MONDAY MAN LPA MAN and then left Manchester for this.
With just two aircraft operating when one goes out or both its all goes tits up and nothing can be done or wait for it to be subbed.
Flyjet do occur alot of delays out of our control as I am sure that the crews will agree this is mostly down to ground agents, catering and passengers.
it is a small percentage of time with technical delays.
I am producing a chart to be played on this FLYJET section with OTP for this year from the info I have.
Because flyjet are a small airline and new... people don't want to see the airline do well. And they will not acknowledge when Flyjet do something well but focus on the bad things and if the worst was to happen would give a big I TOLD YOU SO........
Flyjet has changed for the better, new people in HQ and most of the staffs that caused problems are sadly no longer with us.
Flyjet now has a huge financial backing, fantastic things in the future which will be annouced shortly to crews.
The crew at Flyjet have experienced places and flights that other airlines won't experience. And can look back and think WOW!
BIG INFO COMING SOON ! ! ! !

This B767 (msn23624 yr1986) was most recently used by the Cameroon 'Government' from 15/3/04 it was stored by them on 23/6/04. I understand that the CAA will not let EC fly until a major issue with the paperwork is dealt with. Cameroon>Paperwork......you do the math.
EC was delivered to FlyJet (according to www.airfleets.net) on April 1st 06. Thats a bit ironic in itself! Five months and counting and the a/c hasnt carried a single passenger. Anyone at Flyjet concerned?

Is it possible, could it be within the realm of current reality, that an airline has an aircraft lease contract where it only starts paying the monthly charge once it is on its AOC ? alternatively what DOES power by the hour mean ?

As I recently explained due awaiting paperwork due to the company taking out the cypriot part of the company it has been difficult to gain the relevant info.
therefore EC is unable to carry any passengers until this has been rectified.
The final parts of paperwork have now been submitted to the CAA and awaiting completion.
Big news is to be released at Flyjet as I keep saying, But until this is in black and white nothing can be annouced.
I use this Pprune to address these situations as I know its hard for people who work at Flyjet to come forward and tell people their feelings or ask any questions.
For all the staffs at Flyjet, please be patient and look forward to the future. I am trying my best at the moment to make it a better place for everyone. As I am sure you will agree things have changed for the better over recent months.
- More on-time departures
- Early rosters
etc etc
With lots more on the list including the aircrafts.

"things have changed for the better over recent months"...a 767 that doesnt fly! dreadful promotions, broken ife which is never fixed, insufficient catering, no blankets, broken air conditioning, broken seat pockets, no pay rise, ,no bar commission or minimal, no cannisters in catering carts....im afraid a trip to Bermuda if and when the 767 is up and running is not going to sovle these.

I'm not knocking FJE or wishing to cause an argument - I'm a lover not a fighter!!
As FJE1 says FJE crews have experienced flights and places that other airlines wont have. BUT:
FJE has been around for approx 3 years now - I dont know the exact date it started operations so can it really be called a NEW airline, when does a new airline become not new.
It has 3 aeroplanes but only 2/3rds of the fleet is up and running.
As mentioned by Vomit have FJE a leasing contract where they only pay when the aircraft is on the aoc - other wise money must be being poured down the drain!!
Goodgirl hope things improve I could never be cabin crew facing all the flak from pi$$ed of pax - I take that thunderbirds styley hat off to you.
All the best FJE I watch this space with interest for the BIG NEWS announcement.

- What do you mean by " Dreadful Promotions " - Crew with the relevent experience are promoted which is usually the case even though not my department....
- IFE, Ongoing technical problem with one of the IFE system on one of the 757 aircraft. Due to a part awaiting delivery and the lack of ground slots for this aircraft to be taken out of service in the busy season. This will remain out of service as this is not a essential part to the aircraft operation until it can be fixed.
-A limited amount of blankets are loaded onto each flight. The PSR can request more before the flight. ( again not an essential item, But preffered by PAX)
-The air condtioning does work as this is essential to the flight departing. The temperature gauge was faulty but no affect to the safty of the aircraft.
-Broken seat pockets are fixed if reported on flight reports or to the ground engineer. depending on aircraft turnaround slots.
-Pay rise are down to contracts and the contracting agency..
-Commission- All crews have a bar commission print outs off Alpha, All commission is down to Alpha and not Flyjet. However Flyjet are having talks with Alpha about this matter.
The cart situation should be reported on flight reports and the PSR + Cabin Crew should resolve this matter before departure by contacting the ground agent ( Alpha etc) or by phoning the relevent FJE department if it would endanger any evacuation or injury.
-Bermuda, again see previous posts these flights will start when it is possible to.
All these things are self explaned really but if you need to know anything else please msg me.

Everything Goodgirl has posted is true. If the management do not start listening to and supporting their CC then they have lost. The personnel are the biggest resource they have, no people then no airline.
