Jet2-6
I absolutely get the 'future performance' aspect, but surely the city gamblers understand that Meeson has a team around him, including from a Jet2 perspective the likes of Steve Heapy. They aren't a one trick pony and in the same way neither is O'Leary at Ryanair or the CEO of Tesco.
The future performance issue that should be worrying shareholders in any business selling expensive products to the UK public at present is the mushrooming cost of living crisis, sooner or later the customer's credit cards will be maxed out and foreign holidays and weekend breaks could become unaffordable for many.

Something often missed by outsiders is the influence the man at the top can exercise. It is he (or she) who will determine the culture of the organisation, its priorities, and ultimately its success or failure. A competent deputy is not always a good leader, and often a new appointee will want to make his mark - usually by changing something. Traders are right to be nervous about the departure after a long period of a successful principal.
I have the greatest respect for Jet2, and hope it continues to prosper under its new leadership

I think you'll find that Steve Heapy has been leading the company from an operational perspective for some time. Philip did exert some influence on the company in terms of its guiding values, however I feel that the company as a whole has bought into these and engender them from day to day. It will be interesting to see what Philips replacement will look like. Hopefully they'll come in, observe and then make changes, rather than storming in with massive change from the outset. It would be foolish (in my opinion) to drastically alter what is a successful operation. The Executive leadership need to be looking to the medium/long term future and how that looks, rather than messing around with the present and short-term.

And SUNC appears to be actively flying following its recent delivery, but not in its full paint scheme.
Maybe no time slot at EMA (Or elsewhere) for the application of decals. Whatever, I'm sure, being a brand new a/c, Jet2 will want this done as soon as operational constraints allow.
Others in a more prominent position may be able to advise?

They've put it in the right place this time, on SUNB they moved the banner shortly after it was delivered, as it was too far back and looked odd!

with the launch of more Twilight Check-Ins at other UK airports, am I missing the attraction? So you need to travel to the airport for a second trip (finding and paying for parking) then lug over luggage and then go home again only to repeat it at eg 6am the next morning in order to avoid a check in queue? Suppose might be beneficial if you were overnighting in an onsite airport hotel.
