“Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will replace the suspended Egypt programme with additional flights and holidays to Spain and Portugal, adding 70,000 seats across a number of its bases.”

Surely the additional Spain and Portugal flights will bring more revenue in due to the forum around time and the amount of money Jet2 are able to charge to these places compared to Egypt??

It’s easy to laugh at people saying, ‘I thought I was going to die’ in newspaper reports of this sort, but most people are not that knowledgeable about aviation matters and regard aircraft as something that simply takes them on holiday.
If one made a huge bang on take-off, they would hardly sit there and say, ‘Oh, don’t worry, it’s only a V2500 surging. They’re prone to it. We’ll be ok.’
Most of the passengers sounded s**t-scared to me, and I can well imagine why.

I think you have got it spot on there.. the average PAX who only gets on a plane once a year will be listening to all noises thinking “what’s that”, more so if a nervous flyer.

The fact is, the media are just reporting what “normal” people are thinking, and i bet some of them PAX thought they were going to drop out of the sky!! 😮

Even to a keen aviation follower, i bet if you was on that plane say for example in the front few roads, there would be an element of “thinking” going through your head at that moment in time when you hear a few large bangs and a sense of concern.

I would find it hard to believe that no-one would not have an element of concern.

By the way… Code Corba is that a airline code word or used throughout the business ?

.i see nothing wrong with the practice..what’s the difference between washing plastic or stainless steel??

I dont see this as a bad thing… as long as its fit for purpose, clean, then whats the problem….. if anything.. it should make the recycle “people” a bit happier!
