Surely if the 737 fleet went, it would be ALL marks, i.e. -300 + -700's. How can a loco run 2 types side by side without losing money ? I'd say it makes sense to focus on the A329 fleet and move up to A320 or A321 as routes demand it in the future.
With Buzz closing on 31st October, the STN-LDY-STN route can only be sustained for a short period of time, i.e. until the -200's are removed. EZY on the other hand can safely run an A319 through LDY with no performance limits.

Have heard that EZY are not very happy with BAA charging twice as much at Scottish airports than what they are charged at English airports.
Is it possible that EZY will be looking to retreat from north of 55°N?

This info is a little out of date but the top three destinations from Luton are
1. Glasgow
2. Edinburgh
3. Amsterdam
All easy routes and all destinations rumoured here for possible closure. Can't see it some how.

Luton is a government regeneration area. They were paid money to expand easyland at LTN which was one reason why they rejected STN last year.

EasyJet is expected to wind back its capacity growth targets when it
updates investors on its performance on Thursday as stiff
competition and high fuel prices continue to bite.
EasyJet is expected to announce a slowing of planned capacity growth
to between 15 and 20 percent, from 25 percent, as pricing pressure
in the crowded European short-haul market takes its toll.
EasyJet has been reviewing operations at its airports which analysts
expect will lead to the sale of some older aircraft, although any
announcement on changes to its fleet may not be made until later in
the year.
Analysts expect the company to sell six of its Boeing 737-300
aircraft which are older and have been identified by the company as
being possible targets for retirement.
"You would imagine they are probably going to pull those six
airplanes out and achieve the capacity slowdown that way and we will
have to see how the winter progresses," JP Morgan analyst Chris
Avery said. "It is a sensible and helpful move in front of a sticky
winter."
Rival Ryanair's growth rate has also slowed after an explosion in
the size of low-cost airlines in recent years, although both
airlines continue to add new routes and put pressure on smaller
low-cost rivals in Europe.
EasyJet said last week it expected a tough 6 to 18 months. The
airline recently announced it would withdraw services from Zurich
Airport because airport charges were too expensive.
Analysts said a slowdown in capacity would help offset falling fares
although some warned it could give struggling smaller rivals an
edge.
"While it should take the short-term pressure off yields it will
also give the second tier low-cost carriers some breathing space
just at the time when easyJet and Ryanair are trying to drive them
out of business," according to UBS.

Despite the wind being taken out of Ray's sails by Ryanair's IFE announcement at the lo-co congress in London no indication was given of doom and gloom in the easy camp.
Ray praised the hairbrush as being troublefree and said expansion in Germany would continue with new routes being opened up regularly - I've not go my notes but Ray was pretty upbeat in both the sessions he attended before going off to a business lunch to pick up an award.

By hiring a marquee it is not likely to be anything confrontational.
Tomorrow (Thursday), I believe they are to announce to the stock market late in the late afternoon its 'Pre-close Trading Statement'.
I would think this is more likely to be the reason behind the marquee.
I am also lead to believe they are to bring forward the retirement of the more expensive-to-run 737's.
