In for a penny, in for a pound, I submitted my CV last night and heard back within 15 minutes! Apparently they will be interviewing in November sometime, no date or offer as of yet though but was a very fast response to my CV!

Cheers, found the new site now.

It looks impressive and the booking engine shows some fairly attractive prices. Initially with a daily flight ex LTN @ 10.00 returning @19.30 until end of March.

I think the official launch is meant to be within the next two weeks.

Departure 10:00, say check-in for 9:00. It’s just a nightmare that at that time of the day the M1 will be grid locked and that the half-mile M1 spur road to junction 10A will be at a standstill all the way back onto the motorway. At least once past the A505 the run into the central area should be clear. The M1 roadworks could not have come at a worse time for Silverjet. Just hope that they are still around when the M1 and new dual carriageway into the airport are complete, which should improve traffic flows no end.

Tell me how one can leave LTN @ 1000 and fly to EWR and be back at LTN by 1930 Or is that leaving EWR at 1930

Also, will they run a service from LGW too ??

Tickets for the New York service have been on sale for a month now. Any ideas as to how they have been selling?. I've not seen any advertisements so far, nor is there any mention of the service on LTN's website. Thought they would have been shouting about this from the rooftops.

I suppose though, with the first flight still some ten weeks away, and being a business only service, seats will tend to sell much closer to departure date, than those of airlines selling a mix of both business & economy seating.

Well according to jethro's Fleet listings, flyjet have now been taken over by silverjet. As all flyjet's A/C are now under the silverjet tab.

Although there is still a flyjet web site, im not sure how long the charter opertion will last. Espcailly if EA and EB dont have a serious refit ie engineering wise.
If not then EA and EB will have just as bad, if not worse; a year than they did in 06 due to the major tech problems on these 2 a/c throughout 06.

I just hope the money from Silverjet will help rather than hinder Flyjet.

Good news that G-EC is finally up and running. If it is doing the FJE flights out of NCL then I guess it is in charter config, but the rumour is that this is the launch a/c for silverjet, so when are the flat bed seats being fitted and when is the respray to Silverjet colours happening?
