Sorry forgot to say.
I'm not rubbing my hands in glee or anything else. When I fly short haul I fly EZY more than any other airline and this adds up to a huge amount of EZY flights every year. On average I flew EZY every 9 days last year. I fly short haul with other operators and long haul. Whilst it's difficult to compare long haul and short haul standards of service, EZY make my top 3 overall.
I like EZY and their onboard service, their pricing strategy, their route network, and above all else, their crew who are the unsung heroes of the whole operation.
I don't want EZY to throw pax of their aircraft due to op restrictions and I hope it never happens. I was just reporting on a rumour network what I was told.
