Deal includes all LGW slots, all flights become Easy flights so you have to get a refund for any flight after 31 March. If you still want a LGW - AGP with BA post 31 March you have to get a refund and rebook when ba.com gets sorted (after the approval i guess in a few weeks time!).
BA has chosen its 'GB' routes interestingly, AGP and FAO will do ok but am not so sure about PMI, GIB and TUN.
Rumour has it that BA have a dodgy deal with Easy to take the 321's off them in a few months and maybe the 320's when the 'new GB' has proven that they dont work with the Easy model!
Will be an interesting 12 months but all at GB looking forward to it as long as a few 'simplish' T's and C's issues are resolved.
Quite a few of us interested to see what happens in MAN. We are hoping that Easy operates some more traditional routes next summer as without the handicap of the BA collar they should be able to make a few quid on the Easy standard fare of AGP, FAO PMI et al. Hopefully once the LPL issue is sorted MAN will become a major base for Easy and some of the hundred and fifty 319's on the delivery schedule will be based there.

The future is bright when you take the sunglasses off
