Why would this be even news - let alone a press conference?
Apparently I've been on a 'NEO' already - a Lufthansa example. Did I notice? No, it took an aviation enthusiast colleague to point it out to me. Did I care? No.
Does 99-9% of the population care? - I doubt it.
In the case of Easyjet, people will just give it a casual look:
2 wings - check
engine on each - check
set of wheels - check
orange ninja bandero colour scheme - check
Yup - that's our plane.
Only the geekiest of plane-spotters would even be able to tell the difference.
