Not sure if its a new route for 2010 or just a charter flight, but Thomas Cook Holidays flights from Edinburgh to Reus next summer are being operated by Jet2.

The Edinburgh to Reus flight is a charter flight for the Thomas Cook Group. Any flight number LS2??? is a charter flight and won't be found on the Jet2 website!

Hope this helps!

JetPhotos.Net Photo » G-CGET (CN: 27455/2709) Jet2.com Boeing 737-33A by Roger Oldfield

look at the L1 door in this pic.. Now im not saying the LBA pushback team dont notice these things.. but that very same aircraft flew into BFS a couple of weeks ago, and it was reported the handle was at right angles on the back door.. though i presume as the doors open inwards and with cabin pressure theres not much chance of anything going wrong at altitude..

Don't see what that has got to do with the LBA pushback team given the picture is of the ac landing at Leeds. I feel sure that door would have been opened and closed at its' departure point.

Unless the door was opened from the outside, it would have been like that from the last time the a/c was left overnight.
Those who have worked on the B737 would have seen this many a time.
It just means that the departing ground crew did not do a very good job on checking all doors and hatches were secure before pushback.

F.O.K ....you have far too much time on your hands...Im sure J.T would like to meet you on a dark wet windy summers day on the ramp in LBA and......shove the said handle at right angles up your Or perhaps you would prefer 3 minutes with D.A in BFS

Hooded- fair point re. the aircraft landing in Leeds, though im just saying the aircraft has left LBA with the handles rotated, i think i may have photos of it somewhere. Last year i saw a Jet2 757 come back onto stand after the handle on 1 door was only turned out of the groove; to say the Captain was angry was an understatement.

As for senior staff on Jet2, ive met most of them and find them very pleasant people. The only member of staff i dont like is 1 LBA based caption, but i wont name and shame him.

and Freightdoggy dog..thanks for the 'delightful' message. I take things like this quite seriously.. Ive seen English crews leave doors unattended and let passengers open them, not knowing whether the door is armed or not.

Yep - it is quite safe although shows a lack of diligence by the groundcrew at XXX. It does increase the wind noise at the door, however.

Silvergeek,

FYI

The BA 767/747 engines whilst an rb211 will not fit a 757 which are rated at 40,000lbs not 60,000lbs.

Tonker :

Lashings and lashings of rain from those grey clad skies up in the land of the satnic mills ....from the sunny Tuscan rolling countryside where I'm sitting..some sun blushed tomatoes and a big juicy Florentine steak not forgetting a nice chilled glass of Vermentino

Ccc.
Thats b'cos we had Loadmasters and we wud neva trust a F.Eng to open anything except a party seven
Those fine fellas are all now sadly in the Channex Retirement Home for Loadies aka Wickes Air Services.
Of course theres always an exception to the rule,with the Scandinavian Holligan Loadmaster who liked to fall off Hi-Loaders and bang out an odd escape slide or two.
Rumour has it he also tried to tip up a shiney new B747-400 in HNN...
Still we had enough practice at that in Channex, with Pete the Terrorist tippin a Herald in JER and Shiney Shoes doing the Electra in BOH..
P.S G-CEXC did its last flight LGG-STN on Friday and is now heading for the scrapyard...MLG to expensive to renew...must of been those Female F/O hard landings in EMA that did her in.
Rgdsb to the Essex Mafia at Sarthend

All Jet2 757s are flying sheds and need scrapping and so do some of 737s. Its about time they got their hands in their pocket and bought some decent aircraft.
