Not suggested but implied. The implication was why would you sell off a profitable part of the business. Well because, 100m driven into a potentially more profitable business is better than 3.9M per annum. Heaven forbid someone see's the logic in the decision. Alas I can see the logic.

Agreed to a point. But when the peripheral reaches a level so insignificant to the core, the capital value is worth more than return on investment. This is where I see the Dart group investors have weighed up the options and wisely decided the FWC operation is not in their interests to keep. I have to agree.

Jet2 2020 Schedule
Does anyone have inside information when Jet2 are likely to announce there flight schedule for July/August
We know common knowledge that 1st July is the likely outcome for most airlines.
As example MAN/PMI Ryanair was genuinely 3 flights per day pre covid-19 before schedule was updated and are now daily in July and mostly 2 daily in August Easyjet was genuinely 2 daily flights but schedule updated to 5 weekly before mid July, then daily rest of July and mainly double daily in August.
However jet 2 still have on sale 3 daily flights in July and August which I very much doubt will be the case even 01/07/20 shows 3 flights each way

I hardly think such information would would be made available on a public forum like this, you are probably better asking them the question direct via their Facebook or twitter pages.

which countries will allow us in
how many pax are willing to still travel and haven’t changed plans.
which airports will be open
which hotels will be open
resorts will be open
too much to even think about at the minute

As above. I also suspect the 1st July will be exceptionally optimistic for any of the package tour operators to recommence.
Regardless of the logistics of all the above there needs to be an announcement of the FCO travel advice relaxation and also the mythical 'air bridges' to be established. These would need to be announced in the next couple of days to have any hope of a July 1st restart.
There's also the small matter of getting the workforce back into work and the no small task of getting the aircraft out of storage ready for service.

We are talking about flights starting in 3 weeks
What airports are closed?
Hotels are opening in Spain and other Countries and these don't just say oh by the way we open tomorrow,it will take time for hotels to be operational staff/food services put back into place, this would start many weeks before opening
Resorts are open, but with less capacity in bars/shops/hotels etc
Find it hard to believe that Ryanair and easyjet can plan for over two months in advance, but jet2 don't yet know,
European airlines are restarting on a reduced frequency,Emirates are starting reduced frequency and set out plans to September but Jet2 are still showing full schedule as pre covid19 starting on there first day of operations after no flights at all for over 2 months
Are they just hoping customers are stupid enough to think they have more flights available that other airlines take there money then to tell them sorry we are only operating 1 flight a day not 3 a day or 1 flight a week not 3 flights a week but you can change your flight just away to get that extra bit of £££££ in before cancelling your flight

I had a jet2 flight cancelled for later this month. I got an email setting out options, but if I wanted a refund to wait and they would be in contact, they were dealing with flights in order. A few days later I got an email saying they were processing a refund. Two days later money was back into my account. I never had to lift the phone. Isn't it really disappointing that they have given me no reason at all to complain.

Package tour operators cannot operate with the current FCO travel advice in place. They pretty much cannot operate with the farcical quarantine in place.
Do you know when the FCO advice will change? Do you know if quarantine will be lifted? Because at present none of the airlines do.

I also had a flight cancelled and got refund easy and quite fast considering the situation, also had good response from Easyjet refund to card for one flight and various vouchers for others which are more suited to me than refunds, Ryanair no refund just vouchers
So for customer service during recent times yes Jet2 have been alot better than others, but the question remains why still show full schedule with just over 3 weeks notice when knowingly that full schedule will not be happening and neither will it be with any airline

Thanks Yeehaw22 wasn't aware above makes bit more sense
Easyjet/ryanair have packages also but suppose they have more flight only bookings also compared to Jet2 and this government is doing it's best to kill the airline/tourist industry

I think this is a very fluid situation and reading the papers yesterday there is pressure coming from many sources.
The killer at the moment is the FO no travel notice which in effect leaves you on your own and insurance invalid.
To have this removed by 01.07.20 is tight as the 21 day period takes us almost to the month end.
Clearly Government have top give a steer and I think " air bridges" are being worked on.
Nobody knows how they will work or how aircraft will operate.
I am struggling to see much moving on 01.07 but rather a slow opening up during late july.
Just where will people holiday this year?
UK hotels closed and no sign of a formal date ( they need time as well) and most uk resorts closed in the sense of pubs/toilets etc its going to be a right mess.
