Jet2 crew bases
 

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm Jet2 have crew bases at the below and if so, have I missed any?

Thanks,

Belfast EGAA
Manchester EGCC
Blackpool EGNH - closed
Leeds - Bradford
EGNM Newcastle
EGNT East Midlands EGNX
Glasgow EGPF
Edinburgh EGPH

As far as I know Blackpool was never a crew base, all flights were operated by Manchester crews.

BLK was a base, crewed locally.

Alicante is also a crewed base, you've missed that one.

Titan Airways are to once again operate on behalf of LS for S16. Using a 212 seat A321 (G-POWN), which is to be added to the Titan Fleet in April.

Does anyone know where the aircraft will be based?

Manchester! B757 also at LBA from end of March...

Hope to god we are not getting a privilege shed :ugh:as well?

Air Europa will be in GLA S16.

Don't think Privilege Style are operating for Jet2 this year.

What was wrong with privilege style?

I'm not sure what actually happened but I read on this forum that something didn't go down well last summer.

Perhaps you should ask what was right with privilige ... it did us no favours whatsoever

Thank you for that information JohnnyF@rtpants. Now that I have to drag my ancient bones to Alicante in order to fly to Edinburgh I fear that I shall transfer my allegiance to the Irishman's outfit.

No, don't do that.

I'm going to have to use ALC too to get to the holiday home, it's 15 mins from Murcia. Unfortunately it's all about ££ these days.

Hi all
Managed to get some time off due to heavy maintenance and booked on to jet2 GLA - ACE 13/3/16. Just wondering if its a 738, what the interiors are like, seat pitch, seats non recliners??? etc. Usually flown TCX past 5 years but J2 much cheaper this year

Most flights from GLA are B737-800. Seats don't recline :ok:, seat pitch is generous (not sure of the exact pitch) due to the clever seat design. The interiors of all the aircraft are very new, they have been refitted and had larger overhead lockers fitted to help with room in the cabin.

Enjoy your trip.

Jet2 crew bases
 

Skipness,


Should Alicante not be on that list? They do tend to have a 733 stationed there, I understood that some crew were based there also?


The backup ac has been able to position to airports around the network quickly and hence keep the operation running smoothly. I've seen examples of where the plane was deployed to Pisa and Tenerife before from there for rescue missions. Potentially has upsides in terms of minimising costs from extensive delays while keeping things on track..


EI-BUD

Yes! There are 2 aircraft based at ALC. 1 flying and another 1 as back up. Crew based, too.

Great news about the non reclining seats and seat pitch, fed up having my knees round my chin, can't wait to get time off and let someone else do the driving

Jet2 will now be acquiring 4 second hand 737-800's instead of three this winter, although the Ex. SunExpress aircraft which was due will now be an Ex. Transaero Aircraft (Source: jethro's UK and Ireland Airline Fleet Listings).

How has the recruitment been over the winter? There were lots of suggestions about turn over and no crew left.Fact fiction or usual moaning pilots 😠
