One thing easyJet doesn't do is lie to its pax, you might want to look at other airlines for that.
You're joking aren't you!? They always promote Southend and say how great all the growth is, and makes people think that EasyJet are really adding capacity where what they don't tell you is that all the aircraft and crew at Southend have just moved down the road from Stansted. When easyJet opened the Southend base. They said that Stansted would not lose capcity when in the first summer, it lost more flights than Southend gained!
EZY have cut STN by a good 30%, a decision thay they may now regret since it's been sold to MAG and not once have EasyJet said anything about it. Ryanair for instance says it how it is. The most truthful outhere. If they cut back at an airport by even 20%, beleive me they will tell you about it!!!
