GDF
GDF is TLA for Great Deal Friendlier
It's an in-house initative for staff to go the extra mile for their customers. Something that most of us do all the time anyway.
Each month a member of staff is recognised for their extra efforts. Though a lot like FIFA, some people are destined never to win.
TLA is TLA for Three Letter Acronym

Jet2
Regarding the new planes:
I'm happy to see Jet2 have finally acquired some new aircraft but what i don't understand is why they have put this new planes in bases that are not more used than Leeds. I personally think some of the aircraft already based at Leeds should be moved to these other bases while the newly aquired aircraft can take there place at Leeds.
Leeds is Jet2's home and I think the new aircraft should be kept here not only for Jet2's personal fame but for the thrill of Leeds having some new planes to the airport.

Sorry to question what you say, but what information do you have to say where they are going?
Jet2's own publicity refers to a hike in seating capacity at Leeds next year. Replacing some 733s with larger aircraft would seem an easy way of achieving this.

Jet2 and all other airlines do not base aircraft at an airport just to please the local spotters.
Anyway, putting that point aside, have Jet2 even confirmed they have these new aircraft yet, never mind said where they will be based?

Would it not make sense for Glasgow to receive the 737-800's (If we ARE actually getting any, as it's a new base - so why not start small with the required NG equipment there first?)
I would expect Leeds to maybe one of the last bases to get the -800's, purely because of the amount of spares and stock held here.
Who knows what the plan is, we are yet to see any new aircraft and I'm sure any decisions will be fully thought through. I would imagine that the -300QC aircraft will be fully depreciated by 2013 so it would be cost effective to only use them for cargo operations, thus no need for a replacement as such - allowing any 'new' aircraft to only operate passenger flights at the QC bases.
My thoughts would be that GLA and EMA will get the new ones first - lets see what happens.

I dont think you'll find anyone on here surprised to see the Boeing 737-800, G-GDFC been based at LBA from its delivery date up until late March/April time.
It is what normally happens to any aircraft that joins the Jet2 fleet. Well that’s what has happened in recent years anyway..
