What's the big deal? Most UK LCC operate the 738 to PFO and it's perfectly fine. Besides the 738 the most used aircraft is the 752 and there's really not a lot of difference between the two, once onboard.

No big deal, just having a moan and a whinge at having to sit there for 5 hours turn it round and sit there for 5 hours on the return.
Have operated the 737 to PFO and beyond (HRG, SSH, and also to the East coast USA, although these were obviously night stops) many times.
It was just a bit of banter.

The GDF reg does make me laugh though.

Circuits have recently been done at St Mawgan and Finningley (Newquey and Doncaster). Each individual requires 3 rollers (touch and goes) and 1 full stop or 5 and 1 depending on experience. Preswick is sometimes used as well depending on the weather.

Circuits

I think N707ZS was referring to circuits for the 737-800.
Circuits are not needed for those of us flying the 300, and for those of us who have flown the NG already we technically don't need anything but a line check.
If N707ZS is referring to non rated new hires then what binsleepen says stands.

It was a Boeing 757-200 that did the circuit bashing both Newquay before Christmas and last week down at Donny. 2 weeks ago a Boeing 737-300 was circuit bashing at Teeside.
Boeing 737-800WL G-GDFC has not moved off stand 18ish since it arrived at LBA on Saturday afternoon after coming back from the Air Livery paint shop at Manchester.
So with her not been pulled over to Multiflight yet, I'm taking a guess that she still has'nt had her new seats and interior fitted. Thats unless they can do this fit-out while she is parked on stand?

FC went to the hangar today and had the interior branding and seats done and is now back on the main apron. We were told at work that no crew training will be carried out as such due to the amount of 737NG pilots Jet2 have taken on in the recent recruitment drive.

righthandrule, nice to know the aircraft is getting ready to start service. Is anything scheduled to be soon or just end March/April summer season? And routes? Surely not only Rome and Budapest I hope.

There was a lot of excitement last year about B763ERs and even negotiations took place, so that a couple were attributed to JET2 and even added to their fleet on some data bases but this has all come to nothing. Taking into account that TCX may be withdrawing their long haul fleet in the not too distant future, or so the rumour goes, there may be some rethinking in JET2 about taking any long haul B763ERs that may not suit their present day successful programme.
