You’re talking far too much sense pilot_737 I understand a fair few have been sent to the big posh building opposite the Premier Inn in Crawley recently too, the one with the big orange banner on the front of it! When you see the scale of other training centres you realise that an airline the size of Jet2 perhaps needs a lot more capacity than is offered at Cheadle or Bradford. Feel sorry for those STN based crew who are used to the finer things in life being forced to travel up to RAF Bradford for their sessions. Least there’s a Greggs a short walk away for after those hours in the sweat box that probably started at 1am.


There is a recruitment campaign currently ongoing to source the relevant licensed experienced and cadet level pilots to be based in Morocco. Another Brexit benefit.

How is it a Brexit benefit?

Flew down to Faro on GDFN yesterday, lovely flight, weather was perfect but people sat next to the windows were complaining how cold it was, not sure if the AC is located on the floor blowing upwards and the panels below and around the window were very very cold.
The quicker the old classics go the better in my opinion.

They’ll be around for a few more years yet. They’ve been sending them to EMA for a fresh lick of paint so suggests they’re sticking around for a while.

They are already paid for, so can cope with a little extra maintenance until it costs too much.

Yes but that’s why they have been going to EMA for paint as they intend on keeping them for a while yet. Maintenance gets done at LBA or heavy at DUB or SNN.

Despite a few hiccups during the Summer they remain a dependable workhorse and play a continuing role in the success of Jet2.

We have the luxury of owing our own house here so in future I will be just looking at FR flights on the days they fly from LBA.

I agree, for the short routes they operate on they are perfect. They also look new.
