Inglebyboro, I agree with the others, write in to share your wifes eperience. As you said its a unusual gate unlike all the others at NCL so EZY may not be aware of the problem. Advise them and I bet they try to get it sorted so at least she may not have the same problem in the future.
Rubik101, all EZY aircraft are not on the ground overnight, have a look at the summer schedule and you will find nearly all are airborne till midnight with a lot still airborne till 2/3am network wide. There is more than just a night Athens!! RYR tend to be tucked up at 10pm but a lot of EZY's keep flying. This is the problem at DTM. The 3 aircraft there are losing at least 2 sectors each, every day. You can justify losing 6 daily sectors when fuel is cheap but as it gets more and more expensive a strict night curfew just doesn't make a crew base at DTM economical sense. Operate through there from other bases instead. So sorry but I don't think your argument does hold up.
