The 753 is a unique aircraft in that is demands to be used on trunk short/medium haul routes. Maybe it would be good for summer Spanish routes from MAN and Canaries in the winter.
They'd certainly be cheap and it's my undertanding it would have the lowest CASM in the of any of their aircraft? Except for the 738 of course.
Would be nice but I can't see it happening tbh.

An article in the February edition of Airliner World says that Condor are to standardise their fleet by replacing their B753's and older A320's with a mix of new A320/A321's.

Condor and TCX are most likely holding onto the B753's for another few years in my opinion. It's a hard (verging on impossible) aircraft to replace from an operability and costs perspective. While the B752 is a hard aircraft to replace, the B753 is an even harder act to follow. The lease maturity profile favours the replacement of the current TCX A32X fleet and the B752's. The B753's are generally owned rather than leased so no pressing need to do anything with them.
Either way, I'm sure Jet2 will only pick up B737's or B757's at the right price.
Just my two cents...

A friend of mine who works for Thomas Cook Engineering has told me that Thomas Cook will be releasing all the boeing 757 in next 2 years and going Airbus and that is UK and Germany

JET2 has a very busy summer season and a much quieter winter. Due to planned growth for the summer of 2011 the fleet is expanding by 2xB738NGs, 1xB733 and
2x B752s. JET2 own most of their present fleet and some recent additions have been leased. With a quiet winter programme it would suit the finances of the company to lease in the summer and return the aircraft in the winter. It would appear that the 2 B752s will probably be leased, not bought, from Allegiant Air for the summer and then returned to them in the winter to operate flights to Hawaii for the Allegiant Air winter programme.
If this is in fact the deal with Allegiant Air and it works out favourably for both companies during the summer of 2011 and winter of 2011/12, then there would be more opportunities for leasing B752s for JET2's growth in future summer seasons, as Allegiant Air has committed to take about six B752s for their future winter sun programme.
It would make it unlikely for JET2 to buy or lease B753s from Condor, if the above 'guesstimate' is anywhere near the truth.....
Another consideration are the different carrying capacities of the B753s and the B752s.

I don't think the Allegiant (G4) deal will be long term. AFAIK they haven't sorted out ETOPS yet so can't begin their Hawaii programme this summer. But when it does start chances are it will be year round. Most of G4's routes operate for most of the year, albeit at varying frequencies dependent upon the season
