Traf Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 OK, guys, here's my take on the Jet 2 announcement... They say they'll resume activity on June 17th, which is 10 weeks tomorrow. Up to last night, their resumption date was May 1st. So now, all holidays scheduled from May 1st to June 16th have already been paid for in full, as Jet 2 terms are 10 weeks to departure and are now offered the following : rebook, credit note or refund. Refund is the client's best option if they need the money. Rebook/Credit Note suits the industry best, as we don't need to find the cash to pay you back. If you're still wanting a holiday, then a rebook now is your best option, prices will rise as time goes on (supply v demand). Whether Jet2 will resume on 17/06 is doubtful, all they've done today is push back a resumption date for everyone whose money they've already collected. Quote

If we take a credit note, how do we stand if Jet2 go bust? Ideally I’d like to just rebook, but that won’t be an option until wtf is going on from a work point of view and being able to get time off.

Believe they were pushing for the credit notes to have the same protection as ABTA protection. Is there an update on that Traf? Quote
Wanderlust Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Pointless getting overconcerned about the reported death rate as it only reports folk who a) were tested b) were admitted to hospital (many aren't) c) died there and d) had their deaths registered. Plus there was an unsubstantiated rumour knocking about that these deaths could only be added to the official figures if the next of kin gave written consent to do so - perhaps someone in the know could advise about that? And another rumour that some pathologists were being told to put the cause of death down as pneumonia - which is probably technically correct. Quote
Traf Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 A dated credit note should carry the same ATOL/ABTA protection as a booked holiday. The open ended ones are the ones that need clarifying. Jet2 shouldn't be going bust, but a run on refunds will severely test their cash flow and as our resident erudite vision technician has already pointed out in the past, it's the lack of cashflow that kills you, not debt levels.

Escobarp Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Reading raabs comments today we and the reference to the medical Evidence it would appear that Monday is a slam dunk Carry on in this lockdown life scenario and we will update you in 3 weeks. Toodle pip. and it came as a shock to me that we at e now 3/4 weeks behind Italy according to the medical experts I for some reason thought it was stated as 2? Or have I misread this somewhere along the way? It’s fucking grim this Quote

Not too bothered about taking our deposit as a credit note or even writing it off for the sake of £180, but it’ll be a different kettle of fish once we’ve paid out the 2 grand. At least we’ve got a few weeks in hand to see how the land lies. Quote

Always a mention of we are tracking 2 weeks behind Italy. Today we are tracking 3-4 weeks behind. No mention that we are slowing it and the 3/4 weeks is a good thing just we are now 3/4 weeks behind. I like things explaining clearly to me and that really isn’t clear what they have said today Quote

Other half is due on her mate’s hen do to Prague at the end of June but that’s been practically written off now. And with no insurance, sadly (against my advice at the time). Quote
jmjhb Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 If we are 3-4 weeks behind Spain/Italy, who have both just extended their lockdown till the end of this month, it means we'll be in lockdown till the end of May Quote
