Frequent flyer club "My Jet 2" launched.
Web site states you can only register if you have a residential address in UK or Spain, but only the UK features on the registration drop down address menu. So you can't register if you live in Spain!
Another cock up from the promotions and IT departments!

Where have you been? What do you think operated the Bridgetown service during the winter? They can certainly get to Toronto and Halifax in Canada as those destinations have been used to refuel en-route to the Caribbean.
Personally I don't think we will see any larger types working for Jet2 for some time to come.

Those of us that have been around this business for some time have learned not to believe any rumours regarding airline fleets until the thing is parked on the tarmac in the airlines colours!!

767s
With the 787 delayed! most operators are holding on to their 767s, so prices are too expensive at the mo! id say in a couple of years there will be a few good deals out there to be had and thats when Jet2 will get them! PM definatly wants them! its just getting the right deal, they have already looked at the Gulf air ones and the ex silverjet ones but the airframes were crap and in a worse state than the aircrafts we have now!

However, its the same old 'trying to find a Aston Martin for Ford Fiesta money' with jet2. Which means whatever turns up will be on its last legs and will end up costing more in parts in the long run................
As many have said before, wait until there is one on the ramp in jet2 colours. Sourses report anytime between now and never!!

The BA 767-336s are unique to BA in that the engine is retro-fitable to the B757-236 and the B747-436 in the BA fleet almost off one wing type, and onto another... Fine if you need that flexability, but not so if you just need a B767 to operate low-cost flights for you. Granted RR powered in common with existing jet2 B757 acft, but the B767 with RR engines is not too common.
BA faced this issue when trying to sell some of the 747s to Cathay. Cathay in the end went to SQ and took some of their B747s which had a completely different engine to existing CX B747s.

Sorry Silverstreak, you do not seem to know to much about the RB.2-11.
There is no way that you can fit a B767 or B747 version of the engine onto a B757, they are a different variant.
The thrust rating for the B767/B747 engine is way higher than that of the B757 and l would guess that only a small percentage of parts are common.
What l can remember some of the RR engines on the BA B767/B747 fleet are a hybrid engine with some of the core from the trent engine.
I am sure someone from BA can confirm this.

the RB211-535E4 fitted to the B757-200 is a different spec engine to the RB211 variants fitted to the BA747/767 fleet, true the engines are interchangeable between the BA 767s and the 747s, the joke was would you rather cross the atlantic with two new engines or four knakered ones as the low time / refurb engines were fitted to the 767s and the high time engines to the 747s! Some years ago there was a program of updating these engines with RR trent cores but whether any of these were fitted to the 767 i do not know.
The BA 767s are a white elephant, they are unique in the fact that they are RR powered and in the past not even the RAF would buy them from BA. If they were cheap enough i could see PM buying some, BUT i very much doubt it due to the spares problems associated with the BA airframes. It is rumoured that IF PM does buy any 767s he wants GE powered airframes.

That's the whole point of my idle musings. With the BA 763s being the red haired stepchild of the global 767 fleet then they will certainly not command any major price tag.
ideal for Mr Meeson then when BA do start pulling them off the line? Buy it, fly it, scrap it when it's knackered.
