One problem with getting rid of the 733s. What about the QC's for the mail operation????? 
Correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't (currently) a NG QC.
Maybe PM could speak to Mr Boeing and IAI and set up a conversion programme but it won't be cheap. Mind you, if Royal Mail want to continue the operation then they might be prepared to / have to pay for some of it in some way....
Thoughts anyone?

733 Qc
They could keep the qc aircraft and just replace the normal run of the mill 733 with 7377 that would allow them to keep the operation but have a majority uodated fleet. And in time im sure if it all goes to plan they could leave the QCs solely for charter work and freight should a big enough profit arise.

Yeadon dam . Alot of the routes have over 200 pax at the moment . So not very rare.
I would much prefer to fly jet2 and know I would be looked after in the event of a long delay rather than other locos that just cancel or reschedule and you look after yourself. I remember with ryan not being able to land at my destination and being dumped 400 miles away and left to find my own way. The train ticket and bus costs were more than the flight

Not a complete 'lover' of the 737-800, To me it doesn't seem exciting, Just a 737 with 'winglets' on.
I'm sorry it doesn't 'jump' out at me.
I'm a 757 man thru & thru.
Long live the 75.

The airline made £300,000 profit last year. They own all their aircraft except one. And people seem to think they are gonna get NG's. They can't afford to buy new aircraft so they'd have to lease NG's. Add the cost of crew and engineering training etc etc and they'd be looking at a massive loss next year.

If they were getting rid of all the 75's why the hell are they fitting winglets to G-LSAB in september!I hear the 3 ex China Airlines(AI, AG and AH) may be sold. This is becasue they are NOT fitted with Hydraulic Driven Generators and therfore cannot go ETOPs. They can't even go on the Tango 16 routes!Mr Brown, as a poor shareholder, I have a glossy copy of the company accounts this year. £3.9M profit before tax. Unfortunately out of a total revenue of just under £430M. However, with fuel hedged til March 09 with an option to increase to Sept and forecasts of smaller operating costs this year the company forecast isn't TOO bad compared with others.Hear endith the accountant spiel!

757 Speebbrakes,
Yes the company (Dart Group) made £3.9 million but the airline (Jet2)only contributed £300,000 (after tax I think) to that...
Any investment in new aircraft would put the whole group into a loss.

Rumour
B.737-800's from Ryanair.
Out with the old in with the new Ryanair that is.
£300 K with that number of aircraft in the fleets, seems a poor profit.
Sell all the aircraft close down and put the money in the bank for a much better return on capital.

£300,000 was of course dismal but some airlines suffered loses. What would happen if Jet2 had lease fees to pay.
I think a few new Scania's would be a better investment for the group!

Looking at that figure, I wouldn't be surprised if PM sold the Airline 'As a going concern'
BP is making 300,000 an hour!!
Think EZY or Baby would be interested in 'Channex'

Turkey
I think the Turkey flights from MAN will be the same as this year, charters. Whether Jet2holidays takes some of the seats though is another matter.

See Flyglobespan are considering a move from MME to NCL think they would go into competition with jet2 for some flights should they do this?

What !?! As cabin crew for Jet2, we all wanted to have the TFS and ACE routes as they made the most money on the bar hence more commision for us. It was not unusual to take £3000 on a TFS flight from bar takings alone, flights are generally always full as well!
The aircraft also went somewhere in the morning before its TFS flight. in summer 07 it left LBA for TFS at 16:00 after the aircraft had been to Faro i believe.
The ACE flights that started for the winter 2007/08 left in the morning and was back in time to do an AMS rotation on the first of the season!
