Each to their own.
Penworth is right.
I am Manchester based, my view is why would anyone WANT to move down south. But that is my view tainted by my own personal circumstances.
I would rather commute/relocate north to Scotland before going down south.
Oh and flb you reliable source is not very accurate.

Well I didn't mean to open the North / South debate back up!! As long as everyone ends up where they want who cares?!
I have to say, I've liked living at both! Although I draw a line at Scotland!! :
Anyway, there might be North and South...... but don't forget the Middle East!!

The problem is paully that you can earn so much more in the south that the living costs are not actually cheaper here.
I rent a 5 bed semi for £1300 per month whereas in the south it would be about £1700 per month. My wife earns £300 per day as a contractor up here, but could get £800 per day in London. She is from Sunderland and hates it here and wants south asap, whereas i have acclimtatised, and am in love with all the cabin crew
As for Jet2 which is what the thread is about, the folk you have to fly with our great, whereas the location is your choice and can be great. Pick well.

757 Speedbrakes, yes there is always the Middle East, in fact it is now quite a retirement home for ex Channexers, falling over one another in FlyDubai and Ethiad...
Tonker you only want BHX because of the curry houses...whats wrong with paying £1.30 for Seabrooks famous Desi crisps on board
Chicken Sandwich..spot on...I seem to remember a case last year in NCL when a new hire hostie sat on the sidelines for months whilst " pro actively engaging HR sorted out the paperwork"...In the end her parents went to the press and hey presto one fast tracked i.d card arrived.
FBL H.O moved.. simply because its cheaper to employ staff oop North esp when MAG want the land your paortakabins are on in BOH....
Hmmmm Horsforth and the North Bradford canals with the odd dead night fighter floating by.... or a cheeky G+T as one sails the yacht past Harrys gaff at Sandbanks ?? Its a personal choice and I know which sh!tehole I prefer

Up North it's colder - up North it's a great deal cheaper and a great deal safer.
As for Jet2 their roots are in the North - But their tentacles are increasingly moving Southwards.
And the cost of living is far higher down South - Always has been and finding work to meet this extra cost to have the same standard of living as Yorkshire or Lancashire is impossible without specialist skills like teaching et al. Ordinary Joe has no chance down London.

Sorry to correct you Earnie Lanc but Jet2's routes are from the South.......
I'm a southerner who loves the North, (although the south downs on a sunny evening beats the pennines and peak district by a mile) and having been based at 3 or the Jet2 bases over the years loved them all! Well, maybe not MAN as much!
Your best off flying for someone like BA or Virgin but using the cheaper living costs to reside up north and use the staff travel!
If BHX is a new Jet2 base, I'll lay good money it's the furthest towards 'gods country' that they'll get too!

May be Jet 2 should consider expanding their Blackpool operations to compete with Ryanair. The Stelios argument, when he introduced Loco to the UK, was that passengers required simple hassle free airports. BLK is very accessible from many north of England locations. It may not offer a shopping centre but it does provide a simple transport facility.

Interestingly IMO it was the FR pull out at MAN that thwarted LS expansion at BLK - Interesting to see now what will happen. now the opposite has occurred.

Thank you for your kind correction - I am in the middle of moving home for the second time in 6 months, so I think an (INITIAL) slip can be excused. The post has now been edited and corrected.
More importantly it was obvious what I meant and that point would have been better being addressed IMHO.

To any Jet2 management (even if you are just lurking...
): What is your response to the 2 quid drop off and pick up charge at LBA? Effectively all your fares have now gone up by GPB4 for me. OK I travel on my own and its not much in the big scheme of things if you are a family of 4, but as I am equidistant from DSA, HUY and LBA it may tip the balance.
