Here, here eagerbeaver. The proving flight went like clockwork. Was speaking to the engineering person in charge of all the stripping down etc, they said it was easyJet dragging their feet, incompetence on their part not knowing how to return an aircraft back to the lessor, ie painted neutral white with XX amount of hours left in the engines etc. As we all suspected it is easyJet trying to sabotage this start up. Then again Now should have thought twice about getting ex easyJet aircraft to launch with I suppose. Everyone is now in place, HR, marketing, ops, rostering, finance, crews and flight crews. The AOC is due to be announced, then tickets go on sale and then all the doubters and cynics can eat their hats...
