captplastation, dont mention BALPA again please, please ! BALPA has no power outside UK, and if it had, it would then definitaly kill easyjet and ryanair

easyjet has tremendous problems to set up french contracts as well as italian contracts, things will always get worse.
Tell your friend at easymadrid that vueling is opening some new routes to canaries and clickair will probably open soon some new bases in bilbao and madrid. bear in mind that clickair is (Iberia+ air nostrum), and Iberia is interested in spanair to get the monopoly in spain and especially in barcelona. Vueling is managed by a catalan politician, and both company will get easyjet in the orange gauge

Air europa is also about to expand at BCN by the way

I understand easy madrid has some routes with not a good passenger load...at least they should be careful with that.
Remember air france some years ago was about to go bust, and it has now the biggest monopoly.
At last my friend, get out of your crappy low cost, otherwise you may get dead once you reach 65. Give me your CV and I will get you an interview in my company, flying nice CRJs for Air France
