Sorry Ezy, never again with you - once bitten...
Cut off your own nose to spite your face then, why don't you?
You'll find the grass the same shade of green elsewhere.

Do people really believe that airlines do this fo fun or deliberately to annoy, or to "make profit" er - how????

PP, if GENEVA only put 3 people on to serve several hundred does it not seem likely that is all they had available? Or do you suppose the rest were having a nice game of cards in the backroom? Tell us, please, where do you magic armies up from when you need them now? And what has Easyjet to do with this? As you said it was Geneva airport, not Easy.

Just cut them a little slack, can you? The Ops deps is only human, and there isn't an extra army of traiined people to be magiced up at an hours notice to help when it all goes wrong. They have 200 aircraft scattered who knows where, some useable, others not, some with crews (liase with Crewing to find out) some without. Replacement crews may be positioning or stuck elsewhere (check with someone else), the bloody spanish have thrown a strike. It would take a hundred experts 48hrs to sort that mess out, and you fondly imagine the 15 or 20 (who knows, I'm guessing, but it isn't scores) have got the time to tell every single airport details of progress of every single flight (when they don't even know it themselves) and then check to make sure the Servisair Geneva have passed it on? And do that ahead of sorting the problems out first?

What colour is the sky on your planet?

Few airlines have yet found a way to get handling agents downroute to pass delay messages on reliably even when all is going well, let alone with a continent in complete meltdown (or perhaps frozen seizure)

You're being uttery unrealistic, my friend.
