Are jet 2 flying today? i was spotting at man early today and while tommy cooks monarch and the rest were busy the jet 2 planes were just sat there with big red sheets over their engines

All flying, I can only assume you were there far too early, they started departing at about 7:30ish.

[LPFR]

Was at the airport today and heard nothing but praise to Jet2. Many passengers from Ryanair, easyJet, Monarch and Aer Lingus booked the special flights Jet2 operated today. Ryanair didn't really gave a choice and Monarch gave no informations whatsoever (Pax said). At least Jet2 did something and all flights left full back to the UK. Well done.

[Jet2krazey]

Rescue flights.

I carried Monarch and Ryanair pax today back from ALC to LBA, some monarch and Ryanair pax were travelling back down to london after the flight! Even though they hadnt even heard of Jet2 they were very impressed with us! and said if Jet2 were down south they would never fly monarch or Ryanair again, they were disgusted at the lack of flights and information from both Ryanair and Monarch! and had nothing but praise for Jet2. Well done everyone at Jet2! Very GDF

[apaul]

Jet2 and Jet2holidays are not getting such good publicity on BBC North East. Depicted as telling holidaymakers we'll leave you in Egypt for a couple of weeks unless you sign sign away your claim for recompense. A stupid move which would not hold up in court anyway.

[LowFareFinder]

It's a shame they treat their staff like sh!t, hey Krazey!

The only reason why Jet2 laid on the buses and charters was that PM was freaking out at the costs of housing the 10000 people left stranded. To say it was because of GDF is like saying a dose of syphilis is is better than having Gonorrhea.

Agreed on that, i wonder how much risk assement was done prior to launching through the EPZ? it might bite them on the bum yet in the engine shop

Hi,

Do you have a link to this? I have tried googling for it but I cant find anything. I'm interested in reading more about this.


Thanks.

here is a link

BBC News - Delays ending at Leeds Bradford Airport after ban

[smudgethecat]

I heard the reports on the radio today jet 2 were getting a lot of flak over it however what the true story is remains to be seen i have a great mistrust of the news media generally

[jet2impress]

Seems you just can't do right for doing wrong. One minute Jet2 are saving the world, next they are the scum of the earth! You just can't win. Next time, they will just leave passengers to find their own way. We still don't know what would happen if you actual sent a claim in. If you advertise that you are going to compensate people, it would open the flood dates to all sorts of claims.

[cherrylock]

Dont take it to heart im sure everyones done their best at JET2

[gavthespotter]

Makes me sick TBH jet 2 are getting slagged off left right and centre in the press yet other airlines who havent done nearly as much are being praised from the heavens

[commit aviation]

A little OTT Gav - they got a good run of press coverage for launching the rescue flights so promptly on Thursday.
They are also getting some less flattering reviews as they appear to be reluctant to comply with the EC rules over compensation.
The law was not designed for these situations and it seems harsh that all the airlines will take a spanking on this but I have no doubt they will stick in a large bill to the government in due course!
Like MOL I think J2 will review their position & cough up in due course.
The next big row will be about what is considered a "reasonable" expense.

This one has a way to go yet - for all parties involved.

[al446]

but I have no doubt they will stick in a large bill to the government in due course!

Why would they do that? They are a commercial operation so why ask Johnny Taxpayer to shell out?

[HXdave]

why not ask the taxpayer? after all, when there was foot n mouth, the farmers asked for help from the government (aka the taxpayer). when the banking crisis came to a head, who was it that bailed them out? Correct, the government (aka the taxpayer). and with regards to the bank crisis, thta was their OWN DOING! at least with the airlines, this was FORCED upon them (ie, they could not fly, rather than chose not to fly!)

[commit aviation]

All the safety vs commercial debates are taking place on other threads so I won't revisit the arguments here however I think most airlines blame the govt / authorities for the airspace closures dragging on for so long. Many question whether it should have been closed at all.
For these reasons (whether reasoanble or not) I am certain the airlines (maybe airports too?) will be going cap in hand to the government / taxpayer to cover the extraordinary losses.
Not saying its right - just how its shaping up.
