2 x LS880?
Curious is all - as at 13.10 UK time there are 2 LS880's airborne.
One is G-LSAG 757 the ALC - MAN as normal. The other is G-LSAB 757 ex-FNC, having arrived there earlier, also as LS880 from MAN as well. Is that normal or has FR24 got duff info from somewhere? Is the ex-FNC a rescue flight for an aircraft gone tech? Just curious. |

it will be an error on flight radar - the ALC is the LS880 the FNC should be LS766 |
Various articles floating around today about the major recruitment drive from Jet2. 3000 jobs to be created across the network. From what I've seen so far:
Manchester - 500 jobs East Midlands - 200 jobs Glasgow & Edinburgh - 300 jobs Leeds - 350 jobs Belfast - 50 jobs Newcastle - 200 jobs Birmingham - 200 jobs Stansted - 250 jobs Total - 2050 All of the above quoted in articles as "nearly xx jobs" or "over xx jobs" One article quotes "over 2000 jobs for the UK" and "More than 1000 positions for Europe" That's quite some recruitment drive, and expansion! |
Are all these additional posts, or are some replacements due to normal turnover?

Bargain! Lol. Didnt they just shell out loadsamoney for the disused Alicante terminal block though.
There are plans to reopen the original Terminal 1 with a connection from the current terminal. Terminal 2 is used by general aviation and will also soon be partially converted into an overseas HQ for Jet2. Not sure about loadsamoney being shelled out but I'm under the impression that it's just office space for Jet2's new Spanish HQ at Alicante Airport rather than a dedicated terminal operation. |

A lot of of temp summer positions. That's the way of the world now days.
I think I read it was 240 new flight deck next year, could have been a typo and could have been 140 but I was tired when I read the information and can not remember for sure. Had a cabin crew friend confirm what we all suspect; the majority are summer fixed term roles, though not all are cabin crew. There's ground staff and handling crew as well, so a broad spectrum. |
There are 3 more new aircraft to be delivered GJZBP/R/S and then there are 9 x second hand midlife B738’s that go from GDRTG to GDRTO with the first one being GDRTN due into QLA in the next number of weeks. Some me of these will replace the B733’s that will be retired this winter. |

Doesnt that mean Jersey is then off the list once the 300s are gone - and possibly other short / restricted fields? |

Would this not be G-JZBP/R/S? I thought Q was unused in the UK?

I was told that if they can find the airframes, the total will be 110 by next summer.

In promotional releases this week Jet2 state they will be operating 96 a/c by Summer 19.
Potential capacity gaps to fill will be STN with on any recent day from Titan B763/B752/B734 & 2 x A321 all ops for Jet2. |

G-GDFF = 737-8[5P] = Air Europa G-GDFW = 737-8[K5] = Hapag Lloyd (TUI) G-DRTC = 737-8[08] = Air China Likely to be several others as well As for the 733's, everyone thinks they're all really old, but there are still a few that are only 20-22 years old, but all these are in the G-GDF# series, so yes the G-CEL# series will be discontinued, maybe this year, maybe next year (only E/H/O/V/X/Y remain) this means JER (and probably AMS) both from LBA will continue to be served by the 733 |
NAX/DY are to sell off B737NG`s as the MAX`s arrive.
