During the pilgramage I assume some routes normally carried out by the 757 from an airport such as NCL will switch to 737?
Or is there not such a demand on the fleet

Diversion convenient for some
Many thanks for that information LBIA , 8th May 2010 .
After a series of letters exchanged with Jet2 we have managed to get our 'out of hours' charge for car hire back after 5 months . We wonder how many people who were inconvenienced by the diversion of G-LSAA from Alicante to Manchester on the 8th May 2010 even bothered trying for compensation or reimbursement .
Officially Jet2 are a point to point airline & assumes no responsibility for additional losses or expenses incurred as a result of the diversion .
We would prefer not to have this sort of diversion again as it helped to ruin our holiday this May .

Diversions occur for a reason & that reason is more often than not, to do with the safety of the aircraft, pax & crew. '...We would prefer not to have this sort of diversion again....' is such a crass & banal statement that it shows your ignorance of & failure to grasp the gravity of the situation.
If you want a cast iron guarantee that you won't have to experience an inconvenient diversion again- DRIVE YOURSELF & GO BY CAR!!!
Pillock!

Sadly it is not uncommon for airlines to "divert" for no safety reason, but merely due to the fact that the aircraft is needed elsewhere to bail out their flying programme at other bases. Without knowing the circumstances, flaming an earlier poster for having sought compensation from Jet2 is seriously OTT. The diversion to MAN could have been due to a flap failure requiring longer LDA than available at Leeds (i.e. safety related) but equally well could have been because aircraft at MAN were tech and the LBA aircraft was needed at MAN to operate the next outbound to reduce their delay - in which case, the pax inbound to LBA got the raw end of the bargain. I'd wait to know the full circumstances before passing judgement.

wawkrk, i read your post regarding the apu that had been kaput " for weeks" with interest, FYI the apu is regarded as fairly important, which is why the MEL lists a u/s APU as a cat C item, which means the defect can only legally be carried for a maximum period of ten days, i realise you havent a clue about the maintenance of aircraft but rest assured airlines dont decide how long defects are caried, a legally binding document called the MEL does that.
Finally how anyone paying as little to fly as they do with the lo-costs can whine about a bit of missing trim or a non essential filament in the cabin being u/s is beyond me

Yes you right TSR2, I apologise for my crass comments.
I guess I don't have the patience any more to take note after travelling for donkey's years and hearing many daft comments.
Sorry juswant2know.

"Pillock" may have been a tad harsh. However, as a Captain, I am sick to the back teeth of 'Armchair Pilots' judging & second guessing difficult decisions made by a dedicated & professional team who have either risked their lives or taken on huge debt in order to be part of the Flight Crew on an Airliner.
Next time you post, I suggest you provide more information i.e. "...In the Captain's PA to the Pax, he mentioned the reason for the diversion as...." whereby the reason would probably be:
Technical (Aircraft developed a fault) & may require maintenance.
Medical (An unwell pax) may require medical assistance & hospital treatment.
Operational (Covers a multitude of reasons) destination airfield closure, airspace closures, fuel shortages, bad weather, company orders... just about anything.
I wasn't being 'High & Mighty' but NO-ONE likes to divert. So can I ask, were you one of the malcontents who quietly accepted that "These things happen" & let the crew get on with the job or one of the "I'm not having this, I want compensation" Brigade giving stacks of hassle to an already tired & stressed out crew?

Take a chill pill man, you are either a professional Captain or your operating when you and your crew is tired out (fatigued?) and stressed, as well as having risked your life? and bankrupted yourself!!!!!
Our paying passengers (that help pay off your debts) do not always understand the whys and wherefores of what we do and yes some are more than unreasonable in their expectations, but that applies to any product or service and is not a function of price is it?
We would not want our pax to feel that they are flying with a raving stressed out egomaniac (Capt) simply because they have chosen a low cost airline (or not so low prices if flying out of LBA with LS)
Chill

daddy-oh, I think our fare paying (wage paying) customers deserve a little more respect and understanding. You have ranted on pprune about your collegues, jet2, our passengers etc, you are obviously not happy and a very stressed person, perhaps a change of career is called for.....or a as someone else said a BIG chill pill.

Thanks, rpmac. Feel free to PM me anytime.
I think I'll stick to the Forums where like-minded dedicated professionals swap rumour, gossip & industry related thoughts, experiences & opinions, whilst leaving this one to the Spotters, enthusiasts, contented & malcontented self loading freight. But before I go....

I take it by your punctuation around my comments pertaining to people risking their lives or enduring financial hardship to become Flight Crew, that you have an issue with that statement.... would you care to elaborate?
Cheerio!

Delighted to see you are leaving us, especially when you have indicated your deep distaste for the passengers who have the misfortune to have to sit behind one so arrogant and distainful. What a shame you have to carry them in order to get paid. Tragic
I can only conclude your miserable time on this forum by quoting your own words to you............
