Have you guys not seen Stansted's EasyJet schedule!? I don't think Luton is anything to worry about in comparison. Let's hope you're right that it is a part-release. 6 a/c at Stansted to say the least is outrageous. I don't think they're right yet though since Mondays had 15 early departures and only 10 late arrivals in Luton in January.
But myself from Leicester, OltonPete in Solihull and gilesdavies in Northamptonshire... we need not worry! If this is EasyJet's new way of serving London, we all have Southend as our alternative! What a lot of good that is for us!
