from what I know EA & EB will leave the fleet shortly to be turned into cargo aircraft. As I said not much info to give at the moment on whats going to happen will update.
MAN summer program will start in May the same program as last year upto now.
If aircraft do enter the fleet then new routes and recruitment will commence ASAP.

Any news on flyjets supposed new a/c - all to be based at MAN?
Any news on the status of LGW and their crews for the summer?
What work do FJE propose on operating from MAN using solely upto 4 based 757 aircraft?
So many questions that staff want answers too or atleast an idea of what is in the planning!? So far discussions have led us to believe that the only safe place for FJE staff is MAN, but what about LGW and NCL? Fine, concentration has been on the start up of Silverjet, but now it is up and running surely emphasis needs to be placed on flyjet, if they are to succeed on a successful charter brand??

FJE1 in one of your post it says if aircraft enter the fleet, then new routes FJE will have to recruit ASAP.
Will the recruitment be handled by FJE or Silverjet and what is the current start pay for a type rated F/O? I am guessing that the salaries are the same for both FJE and Silverjet. I also assume - as per lgwechobravo's post - money, company commitment, backing etc etc is all going Silverjets way, so would they be the better airline to apply for, and is there any cross fleet flying for the flight deck crew?

Surely with all the niceities and frills of the silverjet launch over and done now, there must be some focus on the charter 'FLYJET' operation. Its now february, the LGW programme finishes soon (not to be operated again next year by all accounts) and again no summer programme. Jst one question,
What is happening with Flyjet???????????????????????
All this talk of a hub at MAN with 4 aircraft, no LGW and no NCL and loads of new tour operator contracts - what a load of tosh!
All the flyjet staff want is the some communication and some honesty!

I think FJE would be 'Pushing' running 4 Aircraft out of MAN??
They have had enough of a performance running 2!!
I would be sad to see FJE go onto the 'Shelf' As it is about time they had a 'Good' run of luck!!
It seems to me that Silverjet have 'buried' FJE without a service??
Or they don't know (themselves) what is what....
Regards.

I could not agree with you more BYALPHAINDIA.
It does seem that the S'Jet management have forgot about flyjet and yes, it is about time we had some good fortune!
Most of the staff doubt the viability of 4 based aircraft at MAN, surely keeping NCL open with the current 3 year XL contract would make sense. As I've said before I think most of us at LGW have resigned ourselves to the fact, the end is near!

I think we all need to stop here and look at the fantastic job the NCL flyjet crews are doing. In my opinion they have kept the company going in the latter half of last year. Few delays and some good reports about them;

A hub doesn't mean the a/c will only fly out of there, im guessing that is where they will base there a/c as Manchester has a good boeing maintaince hangar and cheapish parking fee's.
So if the a/c are doing nothing then Manchester is where they will be kept/based.
The start in NCL is to good not to carry on with, i think Flyjet know that.
O and no one has said that there wont be any flights out of lgw or ncl apart from yourself Lgwechobravo, although fje1 hasn't indcated that there will be any, doesnt mean that they wont be any...

As far as I understand all FJE flying out of NCL is for Excel. However, if you check out xl for winter 2007/08, the flight is operated by xl airways?
Have crews been told the base is closing or is it all rumour? If they haven been told, perhaps this needs clarifying

What a carry on!
It will be interesting to see if FJE will manage to crew the long haul trips to the end of the contract at the end of April. Crew are leaving by the coach load because we are fed up of being treated like mushrooms (kept in dark, fed on S**t). Silver Jet management promised that we would be fully informed with all developments, however we had two presentations to promote SJA but with no information about FJE, this just shows the way in which SJA treat people. We were also warned not to post on Pprune. The crew have kept to their word but have been let down by SJA who did not keep theirs - so we should see this as open season on SJA. Most of the FJE crew who have been interviewed by SJA have been refused a position with them. It appears that SJA had no interest in FJE esp LGW, they only wanted them to do the long haul contract which they were unable to get out of. The reason why they have not said anything to the LGW crew is because they realised if they say nothing most of the crew will walk so there would be very few of us left when the contract finished at the end of April (less redundancy)- How clever. Is this a way of treating people that have been loyal to the company, giving them no reasurance and frightening them in to handing in their notice as they are so worried about their jobs and paying rent/morgages after April? The few of us that are left will not stand for this any more and expect to be treated as adults that deserve respect - (Is this too much to ask for from SJA?)

sunny girl what else can I say to you but ....
The management have treated flyjet crews and staff like utter garbage!! Still to this day nobody knows what is happening. LGW crew are leaving by the shed load, as are NCL crew so I'm led to believe. No recruitment is happening, so the summer charter contracts are looking dodgy to say the least.
I thought (foolish I know) that SJE maybe wanted to make a go of a decent, well renowned charter operation. Well IMHO they'd have to change the name, it would be impossible to do it now. And 4 aircraft at MAN...please that will never happen.
FJE seem to have even given up on operating footie flights, subcharters etc - something we used to be heavily involved in! And the long haul, great for us crew - does it make money though?

sounds abit crap! What are the LGW crew going to be doing through the summer? is there to be a FJE A/C based at NCL and MAN through the summer? It does seem that they want to push you out before they have to pay you out, realistically why do they want staff based at LGW when there is no base there anymore, does seem a bit pointless, not that its the crews fault!
Best Of Luck, maybe its time to look for a new airline though!

Flyjet advertising for cabin crew on Newcastle Airports website
(taken from the brief description).
Flyjet seems to be a good charter airline. No major problems within the last 10 month that I can recall. Good luck to you all!!
to support Flyjet's charter activities from Newcastle and Manchester we require hard working, enthusiastic and responsible individuals to become part of our cabin crew team.

Sunnygirl,
I have no idea of the background politics but as a Businessman i always ensure my staff are kept informed and well looked after. Threat them well and with respect and they (generally) will repay you.
Stick at it.
