hopefully to be followed by LGW , CDG and somewhere in Switzerland next winter!
I for one have been hoping for years that somebody would see sense and open up a daily CDG/ORY from GLA.Good to see EZY seem to have finally come to some kind of working arrangement with BAA. It's just a bit of a shame that they appear to some extent to be using the agreement to have a go at GSM by jumping in on two of thier core routes. Great to see Berlin though, should help attract lots of inbound tourists.

By the end of the summer. Courses start in the Spring and the last one is towards the end of June.
With a bit of luck, now that Webster has left this will be the tip of the iceberg as far as expansion in Scotland is concerned.
We've been telling management for years that they should be expanding North of the border. Shame it's taken so long.....
And as far as eJ 'jumping in' on GSM's routes then maybe GSM should have thought about that before trying to compete on the Scotland STN routes.

Joe Curry, I'm afraid you might be right with regards to crewing...I just wonder where are they going to get the crew from? We are short of FO's in Glasgow as it is already. Perhaps more RHS flying for the captains??
The dualbased thing is keeping people away perhaps??

Sorry, yes what I meant to say was that the crewing might end in tears, for the reasons I mentioned above.
With regards to whether there's a market for theses flights.....only time will tell.

EZY are long overdue for expansion in Scotland, and competition is always good for the paying customer. I hope these are the first of many new routes.
I'm sure Mr Dalrymple would not have been entirely surprised by this announcement. It remains to be seen whether they will react by competing hard on those routes, expanding to new ones, or putting more focus on their long haul routes from Glasgow.
No doubt an announcement will be due in the next month or two on how they will be putting their 767 to work over the winter.

The ONLY Captains that fly in the RHS are training Captains. There
are plenty more FOs and Captains in the pipeline, so no worries there.
Joe keep your Glasgow bashing NOBODY is interested.

ALL eJ Captains are getting RHS checked as they rotate through the Sim for their LPC/OPC.
The reason that none are doing it at the moment is that there is an agreement with rostering that there will be no line Captains in the RHS for Jan/Feb whilst everyone gets used to the new SOP's.

On a related topic, how many aircraft are easyJet currently taking on a month from Airbus, and how far in the year are aircraft currently earmarked for existing bases which have been revealed?
