[QUOTE=Mr Good Cat;11438663]They can't get the Airbus to MAN and BHX as quick as they were planning, so STN unlikely until the deliveries ramp up in 2024. And even then they'll likely want to focus on MAN where they really need the bigger aircraft due to the stand shortage.[/QUOT
Any idea if or what the plan is to put NEOs up north in jockland? Surely it would make sense as EDI/GLA have the longest routes in the network! T

Now for all its plus points sometimes Jet2 doesn't think things through......I mean you would use your available SFP 737s at the most limiting field in the network (LBA) wouldn't you...........discuss. (Extra marks for showing your working!)

You've done a thorough cost analysis proving the SFP aircraft would generate more revenue out of LBA, than their current bases?

Would one get marks in their working for correctly identifying there are a handful of destinations served downroute out of all Jet2 bases that also require a healthy contingent of SFP airframes, such as ACE, JSI, JTR etc?...
This seems like more of a discussion for the 'airlines/airports/routes' subforum rather than here though.

With 146 NEOs likely to be delivered over the next 12 years, they will almost certainly be at every base. In the short term, they'll be at MAN followed by BHX. It wouldn't make sense to have one or two frames at different bases for obvious fleet support reasons. It will happen though, so sit tight.

Can’t show my working, because I used J2s onboard performance tool, but in identical conditions and calm winds Bristol is actually more limiting than Leeds.
However, as shorter routes to the Med, mainland Spain and France don’t need so much fuel the standard wingletted 800s are ok on some routes, so a mix of standard and SFP airframes works, and at Leeds allows rotation of airframes if they need engineering attention.

What if you don't have a 737/ a320 type but you want to join jet2, can they do a training bond? I don't mind a bond, but I don't feel like doing a type rating without the assurance of a position.

If your time in HK is on heavy jets, you'll be fine. You'll just be bonded for 3 years for the cost of sim and line training.

That would depend on which fleet you are joining. It's currently very quick on both fleets, but the expansion will be all airbus which means the commands will slow down a bit on the Boeing. I think if you plan on about a year on the Airbus (providing you pass the assessments etc) then that would be about right.

I have heard that age sometimes comes into place with these guys. Not accusing them just that I have heard rumours.

The difference between us though, is that I kept with the mob and renewed my rating after 2020's "fun". Have you renewed yours?
