Oversized hand baggage charge!
Think there only charging for bags that are oversized! too often passengers who only have hand luggage, check in online, and when they come out too the aircraft their bag is too big for the cabin, and it has too be off loaded and placed in the hold! therefore avoiding the baggage charge! so now if your bag is too big and doesnt fit the requirements (sizes) the ground staff charge a fee and give you like a fine for the bag! and the cabin crew take the payment from you onboard. i think its a good idea, everybody knows the required size of bag your allowed but still try there luck and bring bigger!

Jet2 catch a lot of people out with their hand baggage sizing, particularly on length, with:
50x38x26 being the max.
Compare that to Easyjet and bmibaby with 55x40x20 and 56x45x25 of Monarch, Aer Lingus and BA.

Is it true that Jet2 will start this summer charging for each piece of hand-luggage?!
The current T&C is 'You may carry onboard 1 piece of cabin baggage max 10kg and no larger than 50cmx38cmx26cm, free of charge subject to our conditions and limitations (details available on request)'.
However, it is quite possible that Jet2 could change their Cabin Baggage policy at some specified future date but I think this would be highly unlikely due to practical reasons associated with airport implementation.
Should Jet2 feel it necessary to generate revenue from this potential source, I would imagine that the 10kg free allowance be reduced to 5kg with an option to purchase a further 5kg at the booking stage.

I thought it was very strange charging for handluggage as I'm not aware that any other airline charge for that, not even Ryanair, so.. The thing is that I've heard it from a girl working at the sales desk from Jet2, that they will begin charging it by the end of the month or so.. UNLESS she missunderstood it and they'll only charge oversized ones like you said, that would make more sense.. I'll try to find out the truth.

Noticed tonight radio 1's Jo Whiley has her name on one of the 737's at MAN. Why is this???
Jet2 then took it upon themselves to name one of their 737s based at BLK after the famous DJ. She now flies around Europe, currently from MAN!
It fit into the radio 1 tour at Blackpool a couple of years ago.
Try searching on google for the full story.

TSR2 - OK slightly different meaning to what I posted.
From Jet2 website
(Is there a charge for hand baggage?
Your hand baggage allowance is free when checking in on-line, however if you are travelling with hand baggage only and choose to check-in at the airport, there will be a charge of £2.)

Yes WAWKRK you are correct, there is a £2 charge (£4 return) for Cabin Baggage if you do not use on-line check-in.
This £2 supplement ALSO applies to Checked Baggage at Airport Check-In.

Scott Mills ran a campaign to get Jo Whiley named after an airport and BLK was the main one mentioned and the management even had a meeting before rejecting the idea.
Jet2 then took it upon themselves to name one of their 737s based at BLK after the famous DJ. She now flies around Europe, currently from MAN!

Yup - parents stuck in Arrecife with no information as of yet. Apparently it's G-LSAG - this one seems to encounter problem after problem.
