simonchowder has been slagging jet2 consistantly over and over again..i mean just look at his posting history. Basicly if you look at his history its i love monarch and i hate jet2.
The jet2 757 cabins are being subject to a complete referb over the winter period, new bulkheads, carpets, seats, curtains etc and very smart they look too!

Looking forward to see those new cabins. I guess they're planning to keep the 757's for another 5-10 years then? Cause I've heard somewhere (not sure if in this thread), that they were planning to retire AG, AH and AI (supposedly to go to FedEx). Anyway glad to know they'll be keeping 757's at all. Love those birds

Must agree with the knockers here, flew for the first time with jet 2 recently from MAN , i normally use the monarch ZB service but thought i would give jet 2 a try, big mistake, we suffered a long delay due to a technical fault, the aeroplane was in a awfull state, only one toilet working, no IFE, and the interior seemed to be held together with gaffer tape, crew were very friendly, but that in no way made up for the rest ,compared to monarch they are im afraid a shambles, never again.

I agree in some point that new aircrafts are very appealing, giving the passenger a good impression of the airline and so a bigger feeling of safety, although they're also affected by technical problems, like any other machine in the world. But just because Jet2's aircrafts are older doesn't mean they are unsafe. In fact I don't recall any major accident, thankfully and no pilot would fly a plane if it wasn't airworthy. plus there are far older airplanes flying for far bigger airlines, like Delta and their 35 years old DC-9's, that keep on flying 3 hour sectors everyday and I don't see that much bashing over them?
And if it's just because the interiors, I guess the new make-over will do it.
I'm curious though on how long Jet2 is planning to keep these aircrafts, to make the interior change and the winglets worth it.

Not all of us are in love with Monarch, smudge...and would simonchowder and lagerlout note that as well. 
They are in fact, my carrier of last resort.
Now, as this is the Jet2 thread, can we get back there?
The "new" 757 is the newest build, being first flown in 1996.

I havent got a axe to grind either way im only speaking as i find ive used MON scheduled a number of times and always found the service to be first class and very professional, further the aircraft actually look as if someone cares, in stark contrast to the jet 2 757,s whos cabins appear to be maintained by kwik fit, sorry if that offends but its a fact

I have had the pleasure of travelling on Jet 2 about 25 times over the last few years as a passenger.
Every flight has been on time or early. The airplane has always been well turned out with plenty of leg room. The cabin crew have always been very pleasant.
and NO I dont work for the company.
I am just one happy, satisfied paying passenger
