Easyjet Jack -
The reason people didn't take too kindly to your comments has several layers to it.
The first being your screen name - you obviously work for or have a huge liking for our competition.
The second is the questions you asked. They could and have come across as having a dig at ZB. And when you mention delays and engineering etc it can get peoples backs up.
If ZB staff or fans went onto the EZY forum and said that EZY have a reputation for bad pilots it would pee a few people off over there too.
It's not a run of bad luck i dont think. It's just the airline industry. The summer season will always see more delays.
Don't take anything said on here to heart.
