Mr A Tis..............the simple answer is recruitment. Certainly in terms of Cabin Crew, this year Easyjet has recruited unprecedented numbers to the extent where some of the training has had to be outsourced. Even so, the Winter is still a quieter period even for Easyjet. Some routes are seasonal and will end in October to be replaced by new routes. Crewing is currently posing challenges but it's not terminal.
Aeulad, the four routes I have mentioned have been quoted by an Easyjet manager.... HAM, GOT, AMS and SAW. There is also a member of pilot management that has been quoted as saying there is a "shock route" for MAN with a distance/flight time similar to that of SSH. HRG, TLV would not be shock destinations. AMM would though. I knew they were looking into it from LGW but to launch it from MAN aswell would certainly be unexpected.
