BillyJoe999 I thought it very strange you would A) Be giving out company sensitive information before Easyjet has announced such expansion, and B) you would be doing it using your name!

SO I checked to see if easyjet even know who you are, and according to the e mail system, you dont exist, and according to Orange Pages (Staff Directory) you still don't exist, so dont talk sh*t!!

Thanks Joe Downie (EasyJet Ops.)


Hmm, Joe, do you think that you maybee should have waited for an official announcement. Just hope that you dont get charged with insider dealing for releasing company information before the Stockmarket has been told.

Or is it just complete and utter bullt ???

BillyJoe, so not only do you not belong to any staff directory easyjet have, (which means you dont actually work for easyjet) your now telling me we are going to send Easyjet crew to work on the Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft for which they have not yet been trained!?

Come on!!!

Go back to sleep, and keep dreaming sunshine!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with my suspicions.

As for EZY at MAN. As I have mentioned, the airport needs a large based airline. AF and KL will be fine as they deal with a lot of connecting traffic. KL also managed with BA on the AMS route and saw off LS! As for WW etc, they need to up their game, such is free trade.

(BillyJoe999) Joe Downie doesn't exist, therefore I would suggest looking at his posts with a pinch of salt.....or.. not at all, nothing more than a strange chap with to much time on his hands........!

Manchester-5

Sorry to butt in on the Easyjet excitement but i was wonderingif any of you MAN chaps could enlighten me as to who has been given the handling contract at MAN for the MYT/TCX merger? Just been posted today on the Servisair ramp staff notice board that from MARCH 01 2008 Menzies will be doing the handling at E.M.A.Thanks for any info .Us Servisair lads thought we had a good chance of getting it but there you go ,you never know whats round the corner in this ramp handling game!!!

The rumour was that the ex-GB aircraft were all going to be consolidated at Gatwick for ease of maintenance and operations, and any aircraft operated ex MAN would be EZY A319s, flying in/out of T1. I think much of what has already been said in the last few postings is very dubious.

Not true. The 320's at MAN will be staying, not least for the fact that TFS and PFO (that will be operating for the summer atleast-shud ezy launch MAN) need the range of the 320.

"It also continues to amaze me that so many people are so keen to see EZY start ops at MAN without any apparent concern as to the inevitable damage this will / would cause to the existing operators such as WW, TOM, LS and BE, never mind the likes of AF and KL"

As mentioned above I don't think KL and AF need worry too much if Easy come as they have their connecting traffic, also those business pax who require a little more in the way of service will probably still use them.

I personally have no sympathy for WW and LS especially. They have had ample chance to make MAN their own but have failed to do so with erratic schedules, strange route choices and just lately seemingly wilting commitment to MAN whilst beefing up their other respective bases. Ok to give BE their dues they are trying to straighten out what they got from BACON in terms of equipment and routes but still some strange new route choices in my opinion......lots of French regionals but little else new has been offered so far.

I'm not the biggest fan of loco's myself but I feel Easy's arrival (if it all goes ahead that is) will help MAN move on from from a relatively bleak period in its European network after BA's near total withdrawal from the airport.

Easy

People Im not going to go on with myself but im obviously not going to be in Easyjets Staff directory because im not using my own name. But I do work for EasyJet Operations. That is all I'm going to say on the matter and the details maybe a bit un factual but that is the outline of the plans. Also where did I mention anything about them using the A320 family excpet the A319 I quite clearly stated that they would be sending up there own crew A319 etc. If you would like to see what happens and ignore his then you may. But I thought that you aircraft enthusiats would like a little bit more on the on going situation happening at MAN Comment back if would like...

Quality

I find it slightly worrying that an Easyjet Ops employee can't even type / spell properly.
