Aero Flight doing an Easy sub......
Is business going so well with Ezy these days that they're subchartering bigger A/C to accomodate their pax loads?????
When on stand this morning @ LGW getting everything ready myself.. Heard an Ezy callsign with a very very german accent...
Didn't think much about it.
When pushed back and asking for taxi they said hold short of the A321... which seconds later asked for taxi using an Ezy callsign.
Anyone know more about this .. the callsign was the Ezy 8002 using an A321 from Aero Flight (A german charter company)
Cheers

If it was a positioning flight than WHY would it come to LGW first (and not depart from its base in germany) and than depart to it's destination using that callsign....???? Doesn't make sense to me.... 
I'm sticking to a sub...

Came in (to Gatwick) last night from Frankfurt as EZY8001, went down to Palma & back then went back to Frankfurt as EZY8002
Not sure why they subbed it in though?

The only theory I have is that a lot of cabin crew have been getting very close to their max block hours in a certain time frame, thus the rotation was subbed as not enough available crew to operate it. I was an sccm for them a couple of years ago and similar things happened then, Futura flew for about a month with crew and an a/c based at LGW.
Although, I could be completely wrong!!

Off Stand, assuming that you are EZY crew, you should be aware of the NTC that recently said we are lowering the age limit to 18.
EZY do not recruit crew at the age of 17, if you look on the jobs section of easyJet.com it states clearly that the age requirement is Aged 18 or over.
Plus, to quote Fifty Above that 13 cabin crew resigned at LGW yesterday is absolute tosh. If 13 crew did resign, PM me with the details - but of course you won't be able to do that as there were not 13 resignations.
If you guys are EZY crew, post fact not absolute fiction!

Thankyou for your warm reply!
I am ex ezy crew and I was at a recent gathering of about 30 ezy from LGW and the RUMOUR is that the recruitment age MAY be dropped to 17 and actually get on line at 18!
I'm sorry if I caused any confusion, but chill!

goomg Tell us the facts then - how many resignations this year? Maybe the 80 sectors a month is killing them off! S'pose its normal to have 60 cabin crew covering from other bases is it?
At a recent recruitment day there were more recruiters than applicants!

80 sectors a month will kill anybody off and the EZY top brass need to raise their heads out of the sand before the biggest base is uncapable of meeting the scheduled needs of the travellers.
On the other hand, there are lots of crew who have a hell of a lot less than 80 sectors all thanks to the 900 hour limit which a lot of crew have nearly reached within 8 months of being online!!!
And yes the Meridian is full of crew from other bases (BFS, GVA and at least 1 from EDI) and no this would not and should not be considered normal.
So there you are, some facts from a still serving LGW crew member!

Getoutofmygalley,
Thank you for the "facts". I am interested in the "fact" you quoted that implied cabin crew have reached their 900 hour limit in 8 months.
There is no limit for cabin crew (other than 105 duty hours in 2 weeks)...
Or were you suddenly referring to FD?

Stu - you are mistaken. the 900-hour rolling annual flying hour total has now been applicable to cabin crew for some time.
There have been ludicrous numbers of cabin crew "grounded" by being given "high" days on their roster for this reason.
If your base hasn't experienced this yet - it soon will.

Thanks - didn't know that. My manual (well, the latest CD) says:
1.16.12 RULES RELATING TO CABIN CREW
The annual and 28 day limits on flying hours appertaining to flight crew do not
apply.
Guess the manual is out of date already!

Slim 20 and Stu
Your probably thinking of the yearly 2000 duty hour limit which i think is a rolling limit. This applies to both CC and FD and its a recently introduced EU working time directive. I understand BA have had similar issues as well.
