Is Stelios the right person ?
The person who starts a business and grows it quickly is not necessarily the best person to keep running it. Entrepreneurs make poor professional managers.
The message to management here seems to be I want to run it again as I can run it better than you which undermines the existing management.
Given the track record of running "Easy startups" then I think there is a real danger here for the company and brand in the long term.
Stelios's EGO is now dictating how Easyjet must be run.
