Yep........
All a bit confusing. One minute all the crews are being told we're all to be ETOP's trained, the next we here it's just a handfull of Capts. / FO's.
Then we here that Winglets are being considered for two aircraft for cost saving on long sectors?????
The new Ops manuals are beginning to fill up with ETOPs and there's talk of a new flight planning system that can cope with it but it's all a long way off the structures that other airlines have.
One was hoping that it would all seem a lot more encoraging but the first few days of summer 08 don't exactly seem to have been the most promising of starts, especially after all the talk of better crewing / rostering guidelines. Although, in someways that has been caused by a lot of extra unplanned charter work which can only be good for the company - and in turn, the value of my shares!!!!

Just noticed that Jet2 have very discreetly reduced Hold Baggage allowance from 20Kg to 17Kg per passenger. No doubt hoping to generate additional excess baggage income from unsuspecting passengers. Not a way to encourage repeat business.

Until last year their hold baggage allowance was 18kgs.
Then they went up to 20kgs.
Yet another desperate,retrograde, money grabbing exercise after the fuel surcharge that has crept in .
Will only drive passengers away.

Re: baggage changes.
From here in Krakow 36PLN per kg = 8.40GBP.
I usually have around 20kG so an extra 25 quid.
Plus return journey and all my other Jet2 flights.
This may be enough incentive for me to go back to KLM with my
privileged 50kg allowance although using connecting flights.

Jet2 IFE
There is no IFE on any Jet2 flights! we used to have Mezzo movies! a type of hand held DVD player with inbuilt films and programs but they didnt sell very well so were eventually scrapped!

Fuel surcharges!
When oil has gone from £290 a barrel 2 yrs ago to nearly £1000 a barrel today. the money has to be made somewhere! especially when ticket prices dont even cover the cost of operating the flight! The money is made up from pre bookable seats, pre paid baggage, extra leg room seats! and onboard sales! excess baggage, and so on!

all locos are now charging for most extras! to keep ticket prices low to compete with each other! i for one would prefer they just charge more for the ticket to cover the fuel increase, but pax are not gonna fly with us if other locos are cheaper than us on the ticket price!

This situation is false.The ticket can be any price and the rest made up from extra charges.I then must assume locos expect to attract pax with limited intelligence. From my experience this is probably true.

Hi Jet2Krazey,
Whilst oil prices have been soaring over recent months causing acute problems for many carriers, we are fortunately still well short of the £1000 level for a barrel of oil.
Latest reported prices are:
Brent Crude: USD$108.70
West Texas Intermediate (WTI): USD$110.40
Of course, that's still enough to give airline executives sleepless nights! Especially those whose fuel requirements are unhedged.

Jet2 did hedge their fuel price. Can't remember until when................ June me-thinks?
I had a mild heart attack when I saw $1000 per barrel on your post too!!
.
At that rate, I'd need to re-morgage every time I drove my car, which i'm not far off at the moment anyway!

Silly Rumours
Why do so many people seem to have it in for Jet2? Why do so many people want to spread unfounded rumours such as the last about paying cash for fuel? Where did you hear this from?
I'm sure profits for many of these sort of airlines will be under pressure but if the business is in the dire straits that many on this thread are speculating then Mr M does not deserve to run a business again given that he has been encouraging his staff to buy shares in the last few weeks.
If we believed everything we read and heard in the media at the moment we are doomed. If you read below the headlines the wiser people are not so downbeat.
