I think you've been playing 'chinese whispers' for too long and lost the plot.
My - now deleted - post that Vuelo refered to, and I presume you are also talking about, had absolutley nothing to do with easyJet or any proposed summer schedules.
It was purely a request, for the people addressed, to check their PM's. Hence the apology for using the thread. As you know, some people very seldom check PMs and the beer was getting warm!
Now if there is to be an announcement of some kind today please tell me - I want to know as well, and before lunch please!! (Before anyone misconstrues that comment it is due to lack of internet access today!)

Reading this thread lately, where did any mention of any announcement appear, or have i missed something???
jet2 to LGW is 3 x daily according to jet2.com
easyjet tv tonight as advertised on ezy web news is nothing to do with new routes or announcements - more like publicity and viewing figures !!!

Thanks Scottie Dog, such are the wonders of a rumours website, you are right, a case of 2 + 2 = 5, my apologies.
However why did cbt_bear_MAN write last night there is to be an announcement then withdraw many hours later the post. Seems like many red herrings swim in the sea.

From a well known trade weekly today:
EasyJet: no move to Manchester
EasyJet has denied it plans to switch Liverpool services to Manchester as Ryanair unveiled the Merseyside airport as its latest base.
EasyJet had applied to start 13 routes from Manchester next summer, but a spokeswoman said rumours of a move to Manchester were "complete nonsense."
"We were talking to them and did apply for slots, but we have decided not to operate from Manchester," she said.
"We still have 16 years of our Liverpool contract left."

gayrugbybloke,
Perhaps not for fun, but it looks like EZY are walking away for whatever reason, could be the back hander wasn't big enough, perhaps the EZY's price was little higher than Jet 2.

EZY
Did anyone notice the tone of that statement today ? The higher management of EZY did (after somebody had told them they were in the TTG !) I gather the young lady concerned is not fat and she can't sing and tonight she is nursing some very sore knuckles ! Like I said in my previous post , wait till Jan

Re Easy V Manchester
..bound to say I agree with ThisCharmingMan...
Why did they not issue a simple No Comment....OR a more appropriate form of words ?
Methinks the PR dept did not clear that release with senior managment first.
Why on earth would you draw attention to the fact that you were daft enough to apply for 13 routes Ex Manchester if it wasnt true AND then deny that you have an interest... even if it was posturing !
..and why suggest that you are "locked in to an airport for another 16 +years", who on earth would make that kind of long term f'cast.......
It just doesn't sit right !

I believe it's to do with Runway slots. They definatley want to base 5 a/c but the slots dont fit . They are now working on plan B which is 'W' patterns and between now and Jan they will see if there are any handbacks in order to try and revert to plan A.
Does anybody remember the US sitcom Soap ?

Isn't Jan 05 a bit late for routes to be released for summer 05, bearing in mind EZY/RYR LPL & JET2 MAN have been on sale for yonks.
