Are the lucky few having to pay for their upgrade to the 'golden pig', or are they being bonded?
Is there a relocation package for the forced movers?
Are those that don't want to move or change fleet being allowed to leave quietly with the company paying off their type rating debt?

All this and more in the next exciting edition of the balpa log! or most likely not.

I really did pull the handle at the right time didn't i.

Good luck guys.

Purple,

To be honest, the management haven't been too bad so far(jet2 isn't all bad, most airlines are the same). I think they could have handled it a little better, ie phoned individuals to see if they wanted to move to the 75, as I'm sure they will easily get the numbers they are looking for instead of recorded delivery letters half scaring crews to death! I suppose they are damned if they do, damned if they don't....

If you transfer to the 75, you will be bonded, relocation packages available to those wanting to move base under the usual relocation rules, those not wanting to move can take redundancy at £300ish per wk of service with a min of 2yrs service!

Personally, I think there will be more than enough offers from Capt's and F/O's to move to the 75 to fill any gaps, so hopefully redundancy won't affect anyone.

Why the reduction in 737s at Man?

Because Jet2 is getting rid of about 5 routes CDG, AMS, BGY, PRG and SXF

Streamlining the business

Not forgetting the TLS and BCN routes that won't be returning for S08.
The aircraft will be going to LBA to operate the expanded network from there and this will mean that Jet2 won't have to wet lease any third party aircraft to cover the schedule for the first time in years.

Well, the 737 guys at manch will always have a job. We have lots of 757's at Leeds that need a good clean. Come on over, we have loads of rags.
It beats the usual gun battles over a banana in Manchester Asda's or swilling cheap plonk trying to impress pikeys in Wilmslow

King H,

We've got enough of our own 757's to crew for S08, so you'll just have to keep cleaning them yourself.
