G-GDFx = Great Deal Friendlier
G-CELx = Channel Express
I don’t know what G-JZBx relates to apart from the obvious (perhaps) JZ element.

Will be interesting to see what comes next in a few years time.
They've started a Villas product, so maybe the next series could be G-JZV#?
Also helps with aircraft ID, since they have A#, B#, F#, H# and T# lines

The G-DRTx series are all the leased units, so likely will be sooner rather than later before they need a new series depending on their used aircraft acquisition needs. I'd personally like to see G-EXSx as a nod to their heritage!
call sign was Channex IRC - so G-CHXx or G-CNXx

I'm also sure that a couple of the G-DRTx series are owned.

I know that Jet2 is phasing out its very old -300s but instead of going for a full-only 738-fleet, shouldn't it lease some newish 737-700 to stay in the 150pax-category? Type-rating shouldn't be a problem, the planes are not that old (compared to the 733s and 752s) and they'd cover a lot of thinner/winter routes where the 738s may be a bit big..Plus the 737-700 has great range and can fly to/from the Canaries/Cyprus with no problem..Just a thought..
In Europe the B737-700 hasn`t really sold that well and the UK market seems to not like them at all, B738 does`t seem to have any problems in general on Cyprus or Canary Islands

Yes i know the 738 flies without any problems to Canaries,Cyprus..I was referring more to the pax capacity issue, where a 737-700 can replace the 733s on thinner routes or winter routes. And the 737-700 might not have had the success of Airbus but it's still flown by TUI,Tarom,KLM,Blue Air, Germania until recently,SAS

See no case for Jet2 to operate 2 varients of the 737. The 737-800 has 189 seats which is only about 5 more than the A320 these days. With airlines in direct competition with Jet2 like easyjet phasing out the A319, Ryanair and TUI operating the 738 and larger MAX models Jet2 would just be handicapping theirself with a smaller model that has considerably less seats.
