don't think LBA was the only casualty, fligths at MAN and BLK had issues too. Just one of those days yesterday I think. Well done to all in ops and crewing for sorting it best they could!

Jet 2 really are having it hard
is there a reason behind all these delays tech/slots/crew or what just checked arrivals and most flights were running over 1 hour late which i not too good rellly.I know they are one 757 down in AGP needing new engine but surly they have a spare acft

Still running late again today then, NCL's 757 flights running about 3 hours late each... and titans ZAPU has been sent in to cover the NCL MJV NCL
I hope this dosnt go on much longer.... if jet2 are trying to compete with Easyjet on the PMI and AGP they are not doing a good job at getting the flight out on time

Cant see how its the airports fault, if the flights coming back are late. Only way u can blame them, is if they are slow turning the aircraft round in the first place, but if its down to delays during the day. Im sure if it was cost effective to stay open ,they would , but there are probably many factors why they dont. Im guessing the passengers would hardly be very happy either,just one of the problems of runnin an older fleet i would imagine, at least J2 try to get u home , more than many other locos would do.Personally ,I would rather get home late, than not at all!

We are talking like the delays of the last couple of days happen on a regular basis. I can remember delays/tech problems like this for a long time. Think its just down to be bit of bad luck.

If I remember rightly, on an episode of Airline (Orange Show) some passengers were booked to Newcastle from Rome and the Newcastle flight was cancelled, and they were rebooked on the Bristol flight and dumped there, and if they wanted to catch the Scheduled flight the next day from Bristol they were charged the the full whack.
My point is Good for Jet 2 if they are stumping up the cash and laying on coaches for pax to get back to Blackpool. Easyjet should be ashamed.

Due to rumours of low loads on jetstream express Belfast-Blackpool, flights cancelled etc, would jet2 not pick up on this and keep their morning flight Blackpool-Belfast on, until jetstream express gives up on the route all together or am I missing something.

Define "Express"
Took the Memsahib away as the old girl deserves it sometimes. Decided to treat her to an excursion with Jet2 from Manchester to LEPA (PMI), with all the trimmings. Checked-in on line and booked the seat to save on having to queue at check-in. Couldn't quite go the whole hog and take extra leg room seats, - I mean steady on!!
Arrived at 04.40 with friends who had been churlish and decided not to check-in online. They went off to join a sizeable queue, whilst we joined a queue at the Express Bag drop?? Queue, what's this then? After some twelve minutes, without moving a further inch, I left Lady Toofouright and went to enquire as to how JET2 define the word Express? With that I returned to the queue having recieved no answer to the question, BUT another fast bag drop desk was opened almost immediately. TOP RESULT, except that our two friends chuckled as they passed by 
, having checked in, and were now on their way to join the security queue. We joined the same security queue some ten minutes later 
!
Dash-it-all, it made me look a right chump, and some extra lolly down the drain to boot. Doubt if there would be any avenue for any comeback either? Lesson learned however,- won't be switching on the old pc to check-in anymore!!
Now where was that thread about the poor retailers and how they are suffering a downturn in profits as no body is shopping with them anymore? _ They won't with only two people serving and sixty six customers waiting, ----W. H. Smith!!!
PS Changing the family name soon to Lord and Lady Tootreeright !! (Around the 7th of June I think)!?

Ah yes!
The jet2 baggage drop at Manchester, the manning of which appears to be some form of punishment or where to place newer staff, by the attitude observed when duties are allocated by the duty manager. As it is at the far end, away from the other manned check-in desks, it appears that the unfortunates are being put in solitary and cannot talk to their colleagues whilst they work.

I imagine Jet2 are too busy worrying about the expansion of Ryanair at LBA.
It's only one route this time but could it be a signal of more things to come. If it does no doubt it will kerb Jet2's expansion.

Why are Jet2 LBA to Alicante flights at such stupid times?
This is not just a whinge, although it mainly is. Why do I have either to get up at about 03:00 to catch a flight at 06:00 ish, or else fly out at 21:15, and arrive at 03:00 the next day (given the delay to LS273 last Sunday). Tried them both, neither are pleasant so I am flyng from DSA in July even though I live in N Leeds.

You can always fly with another Airline !
I think you will find that a 6am slot is a very good one,
gets you there about 8am then at your hotel soon after,
a bite to eat, a little siesta, then the night is all yours
sounds good to me
