exactly bp.
makes no sense to fit new interiors and give them a paint job just to get rid a few months later.especially as you say jet2 are expanding with more new routes and looking at transatlantic flights in the not so far future.

Aircraft require costly repairs for various reasons, the more hours or cycles they do, the more in depth checks have to be carried out, Jet2 may operate some older aircraft, but this does not mean that they are in any way unsafe.The engineering systems in place in the UK ensure this.There are some far older aircraft flying around than Jet2`s.Tell your hubby is more than safe.I am sure others will agree.

The market knows best
Yes the shares in Jet2 have been very strong in recent weeks. One of the truest signs of good corporate health is directors buying shares with their own money and recently a non executive director at Dart Group (the holding company) bought a big chunk of shares. This was announced to the Stock Market and soon afterwards the shares took off, which is good for me - their biggest fan.

Jet2 have now cancelled all their flights until Tuesday at the earliest! See their home page for more details including Maps/Graphs.
It looks like some flights might not operate until Wednesday as well.

I just hope it will be all cleared up by Tuesday 27TH if not then 
Full marks to jet 2 for cancelling flights in advance AND also arranging road & ferry transportations from Barcelona, Alicante & Murcia.
As this thing looks long term, its an opportunity the likes of Monarch & Thomson could try their hand at to get some poeople home.

Road
Overland service now available from Faro - Leeds - estimated journey time approx 30 hours.
It is going to take a lot of coaches to get people home but at least some effort is being made. Those in the canaries are in the worst position due to the 48 hour ferry crossing to Spain, before any land transport.
I would sit it out, but of course, there could well be people stuck overseas who NEED to get back.

There are a number of people here in Tenerife who are 'stranded' but can think of plenty of worse places to be 'stranded' than sitting in the sun dreaming about getting back to the uk !!!

Yes well done Jet2 but
They are rather more exposed than the likes of Easyjet, Ryanair & baby, a number of their pax will be with Jet2hollidays.com and as such are classed as "inclusive" ie IT therefore the cost of continuing to keep them in hotels paying for their meals and still having to get them home will be mounting, i suspect that some of the Jet2.com pax will be on these flights as well, all in all a very expensive me thinks!
but well done and a good effort
Ryanair will offer comp: except
(in respect of any ‘Right to Compensation’) we can prove that the cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken by Ryanair, including but not limited to political instability, safety and security reasons, weather disruption, labour disputes or failure or delay of air traffic control facilities.
If however you had flown with Ryanair see above!!

Yes, it was uppermost in my mind that they were not that busy at the moment but looking at last week's flying stats for JET2 from 08-14 April 2010, they clocked up about 500 aircraft movements. That's a big loss of revenue IF they planned the same flight movements during this following week 15-21 April 2010.......
