Yes, EZY appeared to be quite the shambles this weekend.

We finally departed CPH for MAN at 0105, for a 2150 scheduled departure on Sunday. Three different excuses offered by the airline to their staff on the ground, before the captain confirmed the aircraft had been stuck for hours at MAN due to a lack of crew. Passengers on the LGW and EDI flights also had a similar experience.

This was after an hour delay on the way out whilst we were awaiting our pilot to arrive in a taxi from NCL.

Still, I suppose we should count ourselves lucky at managing to get home at 3am on Monday morning - the same Mon and Tue flights both appear to have been cancelled entirely.
