Would be even better is if the £1 could come from the APD & be used for a 'Repatriation' fund but it's a great idea.
My mate decided to go back to his brother's villa in Dubai after his 3 nights at the Fairmount & my neighbour came back overland by train via Berlin.
Grandma's brother comes home tomorrow from Gib' and my colleague who paid £2600 for the priviledge of flying with our opposition said next time he'll use our Staff Travel.
This volcano blowing it's top is a bit like catching the clap- you hope it's not going to happen but you know it probably will!

B767
Sorry to break of the subject..
But can anyone tell me if Jet2 are getting any 767's or not?
I mean they have had the chance too but the deal once again fell threw.
767's would favour the Jet2 routes in the busy summer period and by the looks of things they won't be getting any anytime soon..
Also, what type of 767 will they be after? -300? or -400? Or would they just get any of them that they can possibly get?

The decision to get B767's is a bit more in depth than "see what they can get".
The original B767 was a -300ER version but the 'variant specification' meant it was quite a rare machine as only 8 were ever in service. I believe for commercial reasons the Board wanted to get "a pair of sisterships" for maintenance savings.
As for which version Jet2 would end up with I think it would be the -300ER because the -200 in Hi-Density config. would struggle to get across the Atlantic if Jet 2 wanted to cram in as many pax above & as much freight below. I don't think they'd go for the -400 as it isn't a type on the UK register. If Jet2 were to be the 1st UK operator of the -400, it would incur HUGE costs.

Jet2's most likely course of action will be to wait for an airline to dispose of a couple of B767's at the same time. This will ensure commonality and also makes the transition much easier. Also, given the age of the B767 it will most likely be in a lessors / financiers interest to sell on the aircraft rather than enter into a ne lease agreement. This would also fit with Jet2 previous history of generally avoiding operating leases and instead going to finance leases or simply mortaging the aircraft.
We've already seen this kind of block purchase with Allegiant picking up a block of the ex Thomson B757's from AerCap.

They do buy their aircraft, but i guess only when the price is right and when they know they'll need them for the long run. 767 doesn't sound like a need right now, so IF they would have one now it wouldn't be bought almost for sure..
