In a reasonable world the CAA would be down on Easyjet, to whom they grant the AOC, long and hard for selling their services to the public and then not having the resources in place to operate them, mishandling the resulting requests for refunds, and causing great inconvenience to travellers. No crews available ? Get Titan or whoever to cover it. Or don't offer the flights in the first place. And certainly don't start any additional routes.
But what do we see from the CAA about all this ? Diddly Squat. If they continue to spend the day at 45 Kingsway contemplating their navels I suggest we campaign for the resignation of CAA Chairman Sir Roy McNulty.
