I wouldn't think it was going to be LBA-ORK, as Aer Arran are going daily on the route from November I believe. Possibly could be Blackpool. A nice short sector to slot in between something else maybe.

3 LBA 3 MAN 1 BFS & 1 NCL for winter.
I believe C checks called every 18 months on 757s so the 2 that had C checks last winter and the 3 aircraft that joined the fleet spring 07 will all need work from the middle of summer 08!! So maybe 757 number 9 will be needed mainly to help out with maintenance....

I think Jet2 are becomming the 'jewel in the crown' of low cost carriers...
WHY?
* Jet2 have slowly built up their fleet, consistently and in keeping pace
with demand.
* Using the right aircraft for the route in question.
* Having the aircraft work day and night might not be ideal, but it brings in
money and by having the right people at the helm, especially in Flt Ops and
Flt Planning, and Engineering this usually isnt a problem for the day flights.
* Concentrating on their own market. UK / European destinations.
This is the reason why Jet2 differ from other low-costs, and why Jet2 will be a success.
Expansion will no doubt follow but with caution and when it does, it will also be successful.

I totally agree with what you say but also, there are some other points needed to be made:
1. LS jump into routes without taking the appropriate research.
2. They seem to avoid routes that seem blatently obvious!
3. After starting a route, they give no time for it to blossom if it is a poor starter.
Just think, if Dr. Ryan took that attitude 15 years ago and just gave up on MOL and Ryanair, then we wouldn't be flying around for 1p everywhere! Any-EZY would rule the skies!
Anyway, I think LS will be the next 'big boy' out of the UK lot. WW and ZB aren't doing much anywhere and LS have started to tap into the LCC unknown - 752, XL partnership, possible long haul, holiday company etc.
Bring on EZY and FR!

Jet 2 also differ from other LCC's.
They have just about the oldest average fleet age.
Easy/Ryan 2.5 years.
BMIbaby 12 years
Jet 2 16 years!
At some point this will become a burden won't it?

Ryanair have only just phased out the 732!
Jet2 started with newer aircraft than Ryanair.
