The wet-leases are being brought in not to add extra capacity but to cover up for the unholy mess which continues to be easyJet's crewing situation. Liverpool and Gatwick are two of the bases which would be seeing even worse levels of flight cancellations for crew shortages if it were not for the fact that the wet-leases are arriving shortly. It is a simple sign that the airline is now so large that it is running the management team instead of vice versa.
