What you say here is not really the case. Stelios stood down from his position to ensure compliance with corporate governance and to move on to other ventures, he made that very clear at the time.

There was no cull of easyJet or Go managers for that matter, at the time of the merger. After 6 months or so there was the inevitable fallout that occurs in most mergers of this kind. A number of GO Directors have left, and a number of easyJet Directors have left. In June a voluntary redundancy package was offered by the Company that a number of easyJet and Go managers accepted, all within the normal scope of a merger, in my experience. Naturally, as the two airlines have completed the integration the former Go managers have responsibility and will apply their experience.

As for loyalty of their handling agents, its a bit far down the road now to be worried about that, the two airlines have been one for almost a year
