Major easyJet news soon?
Apparently there will be a marquee in easyLand on Sunday, staff will be invited to attend a major announcement by senior easyJet management. No one has any idea of just what this going to be!

I think the meeting you´re talking about is scheduled for next Thursday.
Maybe a change of strategy? More predictions of future "bloodbaths?" Less expansion? New bases?
I dunno, let´s wait and see...

Meeting is indeed scheduled for Thursday. Lots of rumours concerning possible base closures which coincide with a quicker reduction in the 737-300 fleet. 'Ray' has gone on record as saying there will be no compulsory redundancies within the next 12 months.
It is highly relevant that Thursday is the start of the 'closed' period for staff Share dealing......not that our options are worth the paper they're printed on!

Some routes to a now unserved long time EU nation apparently.
I have been hearing about easyJet branded transalantic services to BWI to be operated by a new US startup with the corporate name SkyLine (?) using ex-Qantas 767-200s.
EasyJet is the last company to hire a marquee to announce bad news.

Diditmyway,
Surely an announcement to staff would be more likely to cover an internal issue, whereas a new venture would be something where they'd primarily invite the press. There's been lots of threads here about the difficulties with transatlantic no-frills - and why BWI of all places - how big is the leisure market to the Washington region? Surely New York, or at least PHL, would be the best location to hit the middle of the BOSWASH corridor, otherwise somewhere on the Florida coast, but we haven't heard much from flyblu for a while.

Anything really big would have to be announced to the Stock Exchange first.
Easyjet are always hiring in marquees to easyland. The last time was to celebrate a new service from Luton to Berlin.

Can't see why there would be any redundancies from an airline that is growing at the rate easyjet is. I also see that easyland is set to get bigger and that there is a building on the approach road next to the Boeing flight training centre that has become vacant. A new easyland perhaps? This could be easyjet’s only chance to move locations and stay at the airport.

But don't worry folks, Ray has reassured eJ staff that there will not be any 'compulsory redundancies' for at least a year . . . three cheers for Ray!
However, your crewroom might move by a couple of hundred miles though. That should naff enough people off to generate sufficient 'natural wastage' to suit eJ's requirements.

Easy into Londonderry ??
Local newspapers here in Derry have had the possibility of Easy starting a morning service from I presume Luton.
Ryanair are planning to stop the morning flight from Stansted.

Can't see it myself but who knows. Ryanair seem to be starting to tread on easy's toes lately; take today's announcement by ryan on the Stansted to Almeria & Valencia, routes which were only very recently announced by easy.
If easy did launch a service, ryan would probably ADD two more daily flights from LDY for the sheer hell of it. No way.
