Jet2 757
Those 757s of jet2 are a bit crummy the loaders couldn't even get the rear luggage door open the other day plus other problems, their definantely showing their age. Did jet2 buy them or are they all leased and also has G-LSAD had a full paint job yet.

Hadn't heard that one. It's a shame Jet2 can't continue the MOD flights. I don't just mean for the week stay in Dubai or whatever it is now either, even though I hear the hotel is rather good.
I've flown the troops before and I don't think there could be any nicer passengers. No trouble, very polite and an honor to fly, especially in the current situation in Iraq and Afganistan. Also, the ground handling provided by the RAF is supperb. No crap, no excuses, they just get on and do it. ............I don't work for an Army or Air Force recruitment office by the way!!
The charters must of been profitable too, or Jet2 wouldn't of done them and I hear Globescam and Monarch to name a few are still carrying them out.

As this is a rumours forum, I work at DSA and have heard that Jet2 are exploring Doncaster for next summer. Why I have no idea given LBA proximity. Anyone on the inside able to confirm or deny?

I know that Jet2 had had conversations with DSA a few months back with regards to training flights out of DSA but I haven't heard anyhting about them setting up a base. I personally can't see them setting a base up but it will do DSA a world of good if they did.

DSA & Jet2
They have had talks with DSA (and others) but its not a priority and as much as anything else it is a shot accross the bow's at Bridgeport management talks with Ryanair, Ryanairs offering this side of the hill are very poor and there must be huge potenial for them and the airport, lets face it, if Leeds is to grow to above 3m pax it will need more than Jet2 and the decreasing number of flights from bmi. But who blinks first? if Ryanair move a few aircraft in on Jet2 current routes and Jet2 move out to DSA then the gain will be marginal. Look what happened at BHX with baby, the figures from Oltonpete tend to show net growth even after baby pulled routes and aircraft
love em or hate em Ryanair have been very good thus far at putting bums on seats, i suspect if and when they upgrade the lighting on 14 and get Cat 2 ops it might swing it, lets face it they have tp put the aircraft somewhere, for once i hope the airport spend the money on more shops and less lighting and keep the airport as Jet2 international lol

Keith in her younger days for style and presence, Kendal for when you want a mum downstairs although her voice would leave me to enforce a no talking ban, and a bit of Delia for that off the wall drinking "everyman needs a whore in the bedroom" type of good in the kitchen bird.

Even I could get a team of 4 lads (paid for by taxpayer) to 'handball' 100+ bags and kit onto an aging Boeing in 5 mins if i had the option of a week in the glasshouse or a flogging through the ranks for shirkers and idlers! Saying that i have to agree on the dispostition of the Pax . .superb chaps to a man and a pleasure to deal with . .
