You display an incredible amount of ignorance in you post over the easyjet cancellation.From the tone in your post you have no understanding of airline operations,do you honestly think a toss of a coin decides which flight gets canned?There is a multitude of scenarios to consider when making such a decision for example crew hours,night curfews,alternative transport,crew rating,airport restrictions,aircraft out of position to name but a few.Unless you had your head up your ar5e you may have noticed it was a very demanding period for all airlines so to manage a relatively small amount of cancellations bearing in mind the 2 biggest bases STN and LGW were amongst the worst affected is certainly not down to incompetency.Or are you going to slag off BA as well for leaving thousands of pax stranded all over the world?

Most if not all of the detail that you list (presumably recently read from some I-spy or similar manual that you received for christmas), is completely irrelevant regarding the factors in the decision to canx the early NCL. To take just one point that you make, though nothing that you mention really merits any response, what on earth had ' night curfews' to do as a factor in this actual scenario?
In future why not consider constructing a reasoned response if you have an issue in actual facts that I posted instead of quoting out of your newly acquired Xmas present

Skyman
The point i am trying to make is that if you had taken the time to read my post properly is that there are a number of issues to consider when cancelling a flight,i did not say this was the reason.Its called 'the bigger picture'. I have been in the unfortunate position to have to cancel a flight and is not a decision that is taken lightly so i think i am in a position to comment,unlike yourself.....

JET2
Jet 2 Summer flights from NCL to TFS on sale from today, another bit of good news from JET2.
Skyman and BIG E this easyjet cancellation thing is beginning to get a bit personal. However I have to agree with Skyman and the total contempt they show the folks from the NE. It makes no sense that when BA were cancelling flights from LHR to NCL that easyjet had to add to passengers problems by cacncelling STN to NCL. This route must be one of the shortest in the easyjet network, I know it was when Go operated it. Surely with a bit of thought easyjet could have operated both Lyon on Ncle without inconveniencing any passengers.

JET2 NCL - TFS
I see that the TFS route is using a based NCL aircraft - does this confirm that we have a B752 based at NCL next summer. It only operates Tues and Fri - what other routes will the B752 be operating?

Well at the moment on the jet2 reservation system the daily Murcia is on the 757 at the moment, and then the TFS at 1600 ish, so at the moment, not enuff 757s to cover it, so unless the 2 days the tfs goes out the 737 ops the mjv, or another 757 might position up from MAN/LBA, personally id love to see 2x 737 2x 757 and the 146 in NCL!

You are correct, its becoming a tad tedious,just to clarify,the STN-NCL was not sacrificed to operate the STN-LYS,there was another issue resulting in the canx of the NCL sector,as a consequence this aircraft was then utilised to sort out another problem out of STN.

Nclstn
NCLEFlights, you mentioned about NCLSTN being one of the shortest flights on the EZY network , and you are right, but you reminded me of an EZY flight I took last June on GLABFS which was running late and the plane was only carrying about 40passengers . The flight was only 21minutes, so quick , up and down ! The captain actually said we would only be climbing to 19000ft... So I reckon STNNCL & GLABFS ( and prob EDIBFS ) are probably the shortest!
Have a great to New Year to everyone on here !!!!

Alot of people are still talking about how bad of a summer easyjet have had. Since september I have seen a vast improvement in there service, including NCL. I cant think of any or many other canx flights they have had since september other than the STN last week. We must remember that they have brought alot to the NE, and where would we be without them?

its not national express is it?
They did bring a lot to the north east but they have to keep the service levels up, jet2 have a good reputation for onboard service and i know of manyh people who would pay a little more to have nice crew, allocated seats and a bit more porfessional service.
I've never had any complaint about the on board service. Perhaps some of the frontline staff on the ground could take a leaf out of their book particularly at another of their bases. I know that they are not Easy staff but they wear the uniform and represent the company. However, the main reason that I will not personally fly with them is the cattle truck mentality of the majority of SLF when it comes time to board. Whatever happened to allocated seating? It's not rocket science and Go always managed it until Easy took over. I always used to make sure that I was first in line at check in to get one of the first coveted 16 boarding cards until one occasion when we were all loaded onto a bus. Not much point in calling us forward by number really.
Sorry! Drifting a little from the thread. Back to NCL...

Heard yesterday from a reliable source that the much awaited announcement regarding EK - DXB route will be mid Jan. Delay has been down to final licence applications taking longer than originally thought.
Get ready to book your tickets...

I wonder who will win the contract to handle them? Lets hope its Swissport rather than severly badly managed Servisair / Airway. I believe Servisair are going letting a number of their Duty Managers and Controllers go - is this the start of the end for Servisair? I have a very strong feeling Menzies will take on their remaining contracts...!!
