After Flyglobespan bankruptcy, was a good opportunity to open new flights between Alicante and Edinburgh. Once again, missing an opportunity. 
Furthermore they announce flights to Murcia from Manchester for winter 2010/2011, and they don't try to do the same in Alicante. The 3rd busiest route in Alicante with only Monarch (1x/daily) and easyJet (1x/daily) regular flights during the winter.
Komaan Jet2!

G-LSAD
I see that G-LSAD will be getting a lick of paint soon at Manchester in the Livery hangar, why has it taken so long for them to give it the full paint job. What happened to the new 757 coming for a paint job.

Registrations, seating config & colour schemes should be discussed on the spotters forum, but I should imagine that discussing the addition of widebody type to the Jet2 fleet, and speculation of routes should be OK on here.
As has been discussed, the addition of Long Haul routes to a short haul LoCo should not be taken lightly, as we at GSM found out to our cost. Indeed it was the disastrous second year of long haul ops that made us reliant upon Eclear, which eventually bankrupted the Airline.
It looks like PM is going a bit slower in this respect, and although there is capacity available to SFB from GLA etc, don't underestimate how steep a learning curve long haul can be for a short haul airline.
If Jethro's info is correct, (sometimes it's info taken straight from these pages, other times it's confirmed by those in the know...), then it looks as though Jet2 are being sensible in introducing the new type on it's current route structure, before expanding into ETOPS routes etc. For instance, it makes much more sense to do the line training sectors to TFS, rather than SFB etc.
For the current 757 guys (& girls), who have not yet flown a 767, it is a really great aircraft, and the vast majority of dual rated pilots prefer to fly the 767
However, as with the arrival of any aircraft.... Don't believe it til you see it on the tarmac in a Jet2 paintscheme

IB4138 - LSAD flew to TFS from LBA this morning, so definitely isn't at Lasham!
The "new" 757 (AK for need of identification only on this thread) is still at Lasham, on maintainance as I said in my previous post. It is not due in service till April, so plenty of time for it to done battleship grey, before that date.
Now, if you are plane spotting, please go to the appropriate thread.

You'll find that Jet2 operate a very specific timetable. During the first season of a new route, they will operate what they would class as an 'average' frequency. The following year they would make changes based on those figures and subsequently future years.
If you look through a Jet2 timetable you will see that during some months flights operate on certain days and they change accordingly.
Blackpool is a clear example of this.
