Not that it makes a lot of difference but one point to note is that GSM operated to Hurghada from GLA. Sharm was an EDI service. Most of the time, flights arrived back at source early, so time-outs were not an issue.
Back on topic however (Jet2) have now cancelled SSH from GLA!

Well TCX crew have definitely been nightstopping in SSH this year

I guess though, extra flights to the good old Med routes of PMI, ALC, FAO etc will make more money for them over the summer months.

Just out of interest is it just the Scottish bases? I know here at MAN they havn't.
Jet2 would have been aware of any costs of the route such as if they did wish to night stop before they put the route up on sale anyway. There is obviously other reasons why the route has been pulled?

No major relavence. However, have noticed it was mentioned TOM do not nightstop any crew from any base in SSH. Flight Crew & Cabin Crew do nightstop for TOM on the SSH out of MME, EDI, LBA, GLA & I think (not 100%) NWI.

There is a simpler explanation. Bookings for Sharm have collapsed across the industry since 5 people were partly eaten by the over-friendly shark.
The whole episode has blown up badly in the faces of the poor Egyptians, and why would an airline start a route in that climate of apprehension?

Thanks in advance

Hi
I don't know if anyone else had noticed this but is it normal operation for Jet2 to have the day off and not operate any scheduled flights on New Years Eve?
I'm only asking as I noticed that no flights are due to operate from the airlines LBA base tomorrow. Most other airlines are operating some kind of service.

It's not been this quiet at New Year previously: tomorrow sees 2 flights from MAN (FCO & HRG) & then on New Years Day there is 1 flight to Malaga from Leeds.
The rest of the network appears to have the next couple of days off!
Ultimately, if they haven't made any money flying over New Year in previous years then it is probably the financially right thing to do. From a PR perspective however it might not be considered "A Great Deal Friendlier"!!!
I'm sure the staff will enjoy the break!

I personally would rather travel the day before New Year's Eve/New Years Day so that you are in the destination for the celebration. (Hence busy days yesterday/today)
Also to add, G-GDFD B737-800 to join the fleet imminently. G-GDFC B737-300 to follow shortly after.
G-LSAL and G-LSAM both B757-200 arriving in the coming months. It may be quiet now, but come May....

No it wasn't a typo, GDFD should be the first -800, followed by GDFC a -300. According to an internal document there is 5 aircraft coming for next summer, though have not been told anything wether it will be an additional -800 or a -300 to compliment the mentioned above in my previous post.
