jet 75s
Does anybody know if G-LSAD will get the full paint job and winglets fitted or are they not hanging that 75, i think that some of those 757s are to old for going long haul i think that they'll have even more probs with them.

I'll just make a couple of replies.

I did not intend my post to be viewed as personal, but I was commenting at what best could be described as a frivolous post, and at worst could be viewed as downright insulting to disabled travellers.

Er....LS have rather a monopoly on LBA flights or otherwise we would. I assume that handlers will take reasonable care over something that has fragile stickers all over it, and that is all that it requires. These machines are designed to allow for patient travel, and are more robust than you might think.
Anyway, it looks like LS have done the decent thing by the guy in Newcastle, so I'll shut up now!

First flight to New York today with Jet2.
Snippet from the LBIA website.
"The Boeing 757 aircraft was sold out, full of local passengers bound for the first of four, three-night shopping trips to the Big Apple courtesy of Jet2holidays and its sister airline Jet2."
If the rest of the flights are as successful, then the doom and gloom merchants who predicted the prices were to high and this would put people off booking were wrong.
There is a demand for flights to the States from the LBA and this might encourage other airlines to have to have a go.
So congratulations to Jet2.

Congrats to Jet 2 management and staff for having the vision and drive to get this service 'up and running'.
Newark Airport website displays 'Channel Express 4001 landed at 12.11pm, so 1711utc, just over 7 and a half hours flying time. Nice!

I think it's only around 10 staff per trip so not that many.
Congrats to all the staff who got the ETOP's approved in the nick of time.
I've spoken to a couple of the bods who made this possible and many have done a lot of head scrating, constantly running into brick walls and burnt a lot of midnight oil!!

Congratulations to everyone at Jet2 on these great achievements of earning ETOPS approval and for successfully launching the Leeds - Newark flights. It is great credit to all involved from both Jet2 and at LBA. Cork could learn a thing or two from both parties.
G-LSAH positioned into Cork (from LBA?) just before 7 pm on Friday night for the weekend Budget Travel flights to the Canaries on Saturday and Sunday. I would suggest strongly to the powers that be in Jet2 to sell tickets on the inbound flight to Cork on the Friday nights and for the return flight to Leeds on the Sunday nights. It would work fine and give a sensible return bearing in mind the marginal cost of operating the service would be near minimal. The 757 will be heading over to Cork on the Friday nights for the rest of the winter so why not give it a try?
