Easy1, I'd suggest you go back and READ whats been written in regards to the orange order..........failing that, get rid of the toxic mentality before a mod gets rid of it for you

why don't you actually read what I said easy1, and take your size 10's out of your mouth.
I don't work for easy so i don't know all the details, however it has been stated in the press, by an easy exec that the GB 321's are being changed to easy seat pitch (28"?). Also where GB gave you 32kg baggage allowance, plus another bag of up to 32kg for diving, easy are giving you 20kg and charging 6 quid per kilo for your dive bag. (180 quid for me!). And for all this Ezy are charging MORE than BA did for the GB flights, which is about 10-20% MORE than MON, TCX and XL charge for the same route.
Like others have said, Ezy for 1-2 hours? maybe if the price is right. For 4-5 hours? No 'kin way thank you, whatever the price. If its actually more expensive then it's a complete no brainer.
I'm aware of the profit motive thank you very much, and well aware of how the business world works. Chill mate.

Anyone would think you just called his mum a ****! I'm glad I don't have to spend 4 sectors a day sitting next to you! Chill.....
I don't do 4 sector days. When would I eat my free lunch, drink my free cofee and do my su-doku?

No I was talikg about Easy, you have been perfectly calm 757, it must be the free food.
I have to take my own grub to work, then again the only seats on my plane are the ones up front and that makes it all ok

So after all of that the general consensus is that it is all a load of old nonsense re: Monarch. Well now there's a surprise.
I have to agree though that easyJet are probably pushing their luck by subjecting the customers to 5hrs on a SSH/HRG with no recline or IFE, my outfit has both, and even though they pay by and large bottom dollar the customers start getting very nasty when supplies of food/drink run low.

So, you will be using XL or TCX and save some money on your next trip to Sharm.
If EZ does not deliver a product that the customers are looking for these companies should have great loads to look forward to.

Why on earth would EZY buy Monarch scheduled? With GB onboard they already fly almost all of the Monarch routes.
Of course they will put 180 seats in the A320 and 220 in the A321. As for the A321 I think they will alter the rutes seved according to season. Morning domestics. Canary Island flights in winter, adding Saturday Genevas in the early spring and PMI/ALC/AGP during the whole summer.

I have flown several times with EZY and the service was excellent. Any complimentary elements provided by MON are not part of EZY and this reflects the low cost model. Bought coffees/sandwiches etc and enjoyed. I'd be happy to fly to any MON destination with EZY. Modern Airbus fleet, good hard working and smiling cabin crew always make you feel welcome. OK seat pitch may be slightly less, but does that matter so much. No problem for me and I'm sure many others.

easyJet will be repainting the aircraft in the next few months, firstly into a hybrid scheme and then eventually into the full EZY scheme
Dont expect the inflight entertainment to disappear on the long sectors. Why get rid of it when it can provide extra commercial revenue !!!
The aircraft seating capacity on A320/1 will be increased as well but will not have as many seats as some operators cram in !!!!
Keep smiling

Rumoured Easyjet buying Monarch...
Heard a rumour the other day (hence its on here) that Easyjet are looking into taking over the scheduled side from Monarch...
Anyone know or heard any more about this?
Now that would be a 'Disaster' for the UK's Heritage
Monarch are just about the only Traditional Independant UK Airline left.
Do you really think the MON Board would dissapear and change the airline into 'Orange'
I often have worrying thoughts of there only being 5 scheduled Airlines left in the UK.
1 BA
2 BD
3 EZY
4 FR
5 VS
And 10 years later maybe less than that???
I agree with 757 Driver and the others, Cost is not everything, Quality is often better than Quantity.
And remember, EZY & FR are not everyone's 'cup of tea' just because they are doing well, It doesn't make it 'mandatory' for everyone to take part.
I think some people are getting too 'obsessed' by EZY & FR and are forgetting about our other Airlines that have served this country well before EZY & FR were even born..
Okay, Give EZY & FR a base at MAN, but after 2 years we will all be sick of the sight of them both.
Like LTN, all it is now is orange, And little else.
You go out and find me an Airline with a 'better' track and service record than Monarch....
And for Monarch to finish - that would be a nail in Britain's coffin.

I have to agree with the people who don't find EZY offers the best money/service trade off. On routes I regularly fly the so-called full service airlines offer similar prices to EZY and they have a vastly superior check-in experience, better food on board (and it's included in the price so you don't have to fumble for change) and better baggage allowance.
These days I always check all the airline options available when booking a trip, and EZY is usually at the bottom of my list.

"Red 5", just maybe if Monarch has been at Easyland, they are there for something else.
Remember MON are taking two ex A321s this year and maybe Easy are talking of off loading more?

Just to add my bit, l had indeed heard the rumour about the EZY buyout of Monarch and the source who told me implied the timescale was within 18 months so the dust would have well and truly settled on the GB takeover. This would gain two things ; 1. more capacity out of LGW including a possible move into North Terminal for all EZY flights as has been looked at. There is talk of BA shorthaul clearing out of LGW within 5 years so the door is open. 2. Expansion for EZY out of MAN which again is something that has been looked at, particularly since the GB buy.
