Safety briefing is the same... Is there much training needed to do a reset on the seat or whatever? I don't think there are any other differences.

I would think that any special training for Jetz FAs probably revolves around proper interaction etiquette with guests/passengers. You know, dont ask for selfies with the hockey players and this sort of thing.

There's some of that, but that's not really necessary for the current flights that can be booked by any old FOTSG, or even bottom-feeder SEs

You would think so, but apparently not. It's probably less work to crew a Jetz flight than a mainline 319 config with over 2x as many seats, so I can easily see the crew on the Jetz list fighting to preserve that particular perk.

It sounds like for the teams the aircraft is a "safe place" for the players away from fans and reporters. After the game they head to the airport. Sometimes they do the meal service pre-departure while still on the ground and things are still getting packed up.

The only thing I would add is we got a special briefing about the “brace” positions sitting in the “Club” seating arrangement. Not sure if this is standard training for all crew or ??

You also get a special briefing in row 13 on a bunch of the Dash-8s. It applies to any non-standard seat.

Were you able to select those before the flight, or were you able to move after talking to the gate or an FA on-board? And how was the flight?

I was going to say probably no one, since today was the last day on the schedule posted at the beginning of this thread, but they added a bunch more flights, out to January 10.
I see they're doing another YYC-YVR on Saturday. I'll check the cost, maybe I should do another turn.

Just flew down YVR-PVR on Monday on Jetz. I loved it. Only 12 pax on plane. They had to ask people to move to back for weight and balance for take off. There was wifi. iPads handed out for IFE. And even a hot meal! Crew were super friendly and lovely! Would love to do it again.
also I got seat 12A so I had 4 top table to myself. Great to spread out my meal and laptop and iPad.
