I believe the emergency landing was due to a hydraulic failure, hence the loss of power to the landing gear doors and no reversers.

if they do get 767’s i want at least 1 down at gatwick for flights to saudi arabia or somewhere

This is hilarious! 😀 What you want and what you’ll get are two completely different things my friend 😉

First of all, as previously stated the B767 rumour is just that, a rumour! Second, we have no plans whatsoever to expand down at ‘Shatwick.’

well ryanair have started low cost flights from morocco. why cant jet2 do saudi. no reason why it cant.

Yeah, why not? It’s that easy isn’t it!? :rolleyes:

Seriously mate, you need to wake up and stop dreaming!…

As lba spotter stated, it was on a training flight. Arrived back at MAN at approx 15.00.

I’m now hearing AE will come before AD!?

HON 1R – The 8 hours thing on the B744 may be some obscure FAA ruling however it isn’t the case under JAA rules. Our B744’s do sectors to Florida and all over the Carribean with 2 pilots and flight times over 8 hours. In fact 3 weeks ago I did a Miami as a 2 pilot crew with a flight time of 9.30 outbound and 8.05 inbound.

wysiwyg,

I have always been told any flight over 8 hours requires a third flight crew member. I know when I flew on the B767 to the US and Caribbean a few years back we always carried atleast three flight crew.

However, I’m sure the route will be received well at EMA as Baby don’t offer destinations that far away (tad too far on the 737-300), or Easyjet.

Our B733s occasionally did it on a Sunday last winter from LBA no problemo. I believe one or two other airlines have also used the ‘classic’ B737s to TFS from the UK in the past too.

It will be 16 including TFS (And Chambery and Geneva, although there only winter routes areant they)?

Correct.

Why don’t JET2 try and expand down south, maybe they could get Manston going again or even Southend.

Because we are ‘The North’s Low Cost Airline.’

Oh and by the way, we’re now looking for MAN based B757 Captains and First Officers…. If any of you are interested 😉

So I’m guessing B757, G-LSAA will be moving bases over to Manchester later tonight when she returns to LBA from eaither Palma or Murcia or early tomorrow morning in time for the first scheduled Jet2.ccom B757-200 flight from MAN.

Yup, if not then it’ll be later in the week.
