As far as I'm aware, easyJet have no plans to do long haul.
Why he is doing a sim flight on a B744 I have no idea, I'm no pilot but I'm guessing there is a fair bit of difference between a 747 and a 737.

flying a B744 or a B737 NG is exactly the same kind of work. They want to see CRM skills, flying skills, and the rapidity of learning and how the applicant will improve himself during the sim ride.
I guess that one day or another Ryanair and easyjet will think about starting up long haul operations, in about 10 years I would say ?

See that Casablanca is one of the routes announced from MAD, along with others today. I think this is a totally new destination in the easy network, so maybe links to other easy bases will follow in the not too distant future.

A friend of a friend is going on an EZY assesment day for a pilot position
the friend of the friend told me he would be doing sim flights on a B744 sim, I told the friend to tell his friend this cant be right, but after seing the letter from EZY the friends friend was right it says B744, why is this,
Are EZY planning long haul behind closed doors or is this normal

Was disappointed to find that Easy's real time Live Flight Arrivals information on their website is so inaccurate.
Flying Inverness to Luton, aware the Luton-based aircraft tends to do a Basle rotation before the Inverness. At 1200 I did a check on their site, Basle trips well over an hour late both ways but northbound Inverness flight, which should have been over 30 minutes into its flight, showing on time, so presumably a different aircraft and already in the air. Contacted office and said I expected to be be in on time for the afternoon.
Got to airport, check-in staff had no information at all on status of northbound flight other than "delayed", likewise nothing for those waiting to meet pax from flight.
Eventually arrived 90 minutes late so cannot have left Luton at all while all the above was going on and flight status was merrily being shown as "on time".
Come on you ops guys, it cannot be that difficult to keep your IT systems abreast of what is going on, can it ?

Easyjet expand Belfast base!
Easyjet has announced a new route from NI
Easyjet is to operate three weekly flights from Belfast International Airport to Krakow from 24 April 2007.
There are an estimated 30,000 Polish people living, working and studying in Northern Ireland.
Earlier this week, Wizz Air announced it was to begin flights between the Belfast airport and Warsaw and Katowice next year.
Easyjet said its announcement was part of a wider expansion of Belfast International Airport, which would be announced in the coming weeks.
Paul Cable of Easyjet said: "Northern Ireland is a very important market to Easyjet and we are looking forward to announcing more new routes and increased frequencies for summer 2007 in the coming weeks.
"There is a great demand for direct low-cost travel in Northern Ireland and Easyjet recognises the great potential for further development from the region."
The Wizz service will operate every other day. The Katowice route begins on 29 May next year and Warsaw on 28 July.
The Polish community is the largest single Eastern European grouping in Northern Ireland. BBC.CO.UK
Any idea or rumors about new possible route from Belfast?

Don't think EZY would have any money at all, if the passengers used
EU Regulation 261/2004 to claim compensation (minimum 250 Euros).
As neither your post or LTNman's stipulated if passengers were given any notice of their canx flights I would add that airlines do not have to compensate passengers if they have given at least two weeks' notice of a cancellation.

Result? Just booked my December round trip for the massive total of 17 pounds 54 pence inc taxes and debit card fee
Plus one already hugely satisfied easyJet customer just got even happier with them.Cheers,
Rich.

It may not be as bad as it seems because according to Easyjet timetables several of their schedules to the destinations listed change after 29 September so it may be that these are still in the BAA flight information display and are shown as cancelled because they are no longer planned to operate. A bit like the morning Flyme schedule which is always shown as cancelled when it has not operated for some time.
