Early Fleet Shortages?
Various non-LS aircraft have been operating under the channex callsign recently. Does anyone know why we have;
A Germania A321 operating LS218
A Thomson 738 operating LS632
Scary if we're having fleet shortages this early in the season

Shortage of aircraft, or shortage of crew?
Alot of guys have left recently, with probably more to follow so I suspect the latter, and this is a quiet time of the year...

The first flight of the Edinburgh Airport expansion in 2016 left on Friday bound for Tenerife. Today, the second flight bound for Lanzarote departed, and is well on its way. The one 738 based there is set to have a very busy season indeed, alongside what is currently 3 733QC and 1 733WL
Will Jet 2 increase its North Atlantic programme or is it just a 'one - off' Christmas shopping special to EWR?

Anyone know why Jet2 are pulling its winter routes from LBA, EDI, EMA, MAN & NCL to Chambery as from April?
Looks like LBA, EMA and EDI are all getting replacement flights to Grenoble next winter 2016/17 season, whilst they already serve Grenoble from MAN

Chambrey
When it work its fantastic, but slots, bad weather just make it a hassle 50% of the time, i've given up and go by way of Geneva or Grenoble if its a coach connection, you end up waiting for other flights, so what you save in transfer time you lose at the airport. A good decision by Jet2, no doubt Titan will continue with it, but they don't have a flying program to cover when delayed.

Do we know if the full page advert in the RAF NEWS in mid January have a good response for Jet2.
I have no idea if the basic of 65k plus bonus a good salary.
Hopefully the 30 new 737's on order will be a plus to offer new pilots, with the added bonus they are for the first 18 at least to replace older aircraft. All should arrive in the next 24 months.

They certainly made a 'Dogs Dinner' of Chambery a few weeks ago! Probably the catalyst for the commercial decision to pull out! Whilst we all made it in eventually, Jet2 diverted to LYS/GNB then went to Clermont Ferrand!!! A delightful 5 hour drive for their customers!!!
I think straight forward Benidorm is more their thing!!!

And the passengers that I spoke to were full of praise for the speed at which Jet2 provided them with hotel accommodation in Clermont Ferrand. Yes, they were frustrated with the delays, but were kept informed through the day. Skiers are used to travel delays and are well aware of the potential delays at Chambery, just check any of the snowsports forums. This season has been bad for diversions for most airlines out of Chambery in comparison with previous years. There was a chance of a hassle free weekend until some twit left a rucksack in the terminal last Saturday and it had to be evacuated. They must be thinking they can't win.
Perhaps they should double the size of the terminal and the apron at Grenoble so Chambery can revert to a pleasant summer VFR airfield!
