Ironical post
The bit about laughing into their coffee may be an observation from one who was there or yet more speculation from one who is not in the know.
However if Easy found the whole project so laughable and implausible as you claim why did they go to the vast expense of deliberately retaining aircraft that were ear marked for Now airlines?
Also you discredit the doyens at Easy by suggesting that they casually dismissed a proven fixed fare strategy as something of a joke. The above paragraph endorses the inaccuracy of your dis-beliefs.
Why don't you ask the financiers who disposed of Go just how desparate Easy was to monopolise their market position by paying more than handsomely for Go. Same goes for O' Leary as well.
I suspect that the disinformation that has been bandied on this thread has more to do with fear of competition from Now and adequately explains the start up set backs.

I recieved a Nothing to declare e mail from LW today, and it stated that the next e mail would be next week! so at least they are coming,
Lets wait and see, They do have investors who have agreed to agree, they are now in the stage of signing the document, however stupid i may sound, and although i have another CC career that i love, i do think NOW will start up, it may be Winter Schedule before they do, but i have belief, and i think a few other ppl on this forum do to, Lets just wait and see, we all have other careers or money coming from somewhere, im in no rush, i just might think you guys will see NOW airlines aircraft gracing the skies yet!!!!!!
Be optomistic, LW is still there, and so are the Number 1's

From another thread about B747's at Luton yesterday:
"You have all got it wrong:
News embargo until April 1st.
NOW to launch low cost service from Luton with B747's!"

I think Halcyon House is still occupied but can't confirm this. I'd say it is dead though, for this year at least. Even if they made an announcement to advise a launch date, it would take at least 3 months, maybe more, to get even close to starting. Maybe by then, LW would have woken up and seen the day light and got wise

I hear december...... Halycon house is still occupied just by not many people.
It would be wonderful to know exactly what happened and why it never got going, they had everything in place and then it stalled with horrendous consequences.
You never know, stranger things have happened.

This thread, just like the paper airline, needs deleting Now!
So where are the announcements (as promised by Now! folk via this thread) of Now starting flights soon?

Of the 3 senior Flight Ops people in NOW, one ( as mentioned) is with EXCEL ( I believe it's his first command 
), One is with us in ChannEx, and the third is with Helios. Looks like they're sorted then. Hope everyone else was as lucky.

Seems its a shame hes pulled out of updating. There again, most of the updates were not full of much information, just to keep waiting. I hope he's quietly working away and he might pull something out of the hat to surprise us all...

Was there today, all the lights were out and nobody was in and it was office hours. As for giving up, I don't think its completely dead yet. Many other airlines in the past have had troubles getting started, once the hurdle of funding is overcome,(and I know they are working hard to overcome this) then I anticipate a launch, Just when I don't know, but I wouldn't nail the last nail in the coffin yet.
