Just to clarify the situation at easyJet for 'The Real Slim Shady' regarding narrow runway operations. A 'narrow runway' is anything between 30m an 45m - anything less than 30m is not allowed by us or anyone else. In the last Airbus sim cycle, every single easyJet Airbus captain underwent narrow runway training and are thereby qualified. Since then a handful of Airbus captains have been retrained from the 737 and are not therefore qualified, but the overwhelming majority are. Narrow runways are not a 'big deal' at easyJet but do require special training, which has been provided. All very straightforward and a bit of a non-event, but an event which must be properly trained-for and carried-out nonetheless. I hope that helps clear up Ny misunderstanding.
