despite the bases in the provinces and regions doing well. Easyjet falls into the trap that only flights from capitals are economically feasible. How sad - how shortsighted!
What are you basing this on? If the same aircraft can make money abroad then it's the best oplace for it surely. pprune is full of posts saying how great things are just before the base gets shut. There's a whole load more competition in the UK, it can get to the stage where it's just not worth the candle anymore.

easyJet -> flyorange ?

Any truth in the rumour that a project team has been set up to look at re-branding the whole operation to the new name of "flyorange" - I've now heard this from 3, unconnected, and normally very reliable sources...

Awful awful rebrand name. This is perfect opportunity to upgrade the public image of the company. Flyorange holds no class whatsoever!

Regards

flyorange, thats truly rubbish. Something like flybus, jetbus etc would be more apt. Im sure Stelios would take the Orange from them as well, so I just dont understand that. Im sure orange (mobiles) would have a thing or two to say about that as well.

LPL-AGP (early morning) and LPL-RHO 19/6/2010 are both operated by OH-AFJ.

dontdoit - where is this rumour coming from exactly?

I have no information on whether EasyJet will rebrand or not, but it is not unheard of for companies to talk about a rebrand with an unconventional name, but actually do something radically different

A well known example of this is when PriceWaterhouseCoopers (aka PwC) announced the rebranding of its consulting arm to 'Monday'. Seven months later, PwC sold its consulting arm to IBM
BBC NEWS | Business | Monday name change for PwC

If flyorange is to be the name, then a Mr John R Van der Ree living in Hilversum in the Netherlands who registered the flyorange.com domain on 20 July 2006 is likely to make quite a bit of money soon.

To be fair this was being mooted in Sunday Times in May as a way of distancing the company from Stelios who is demanding royalties for them using the "Easy" name.

From within the company we have been told by the management that the company and Stelios are not interested in getting a new name for EZY. We can expect a settlement between EZY and Stelios ie. he get's a bunch of pounds every year and we are all happy.

757

I must say I think the 757 looks much better than I expected it to do in EZY colours!

A bit of variety for LPL this summer! I do wonder whether the passengers will notice any difference in on board service though.

Is it a wet lease, where the crew will be from Air Finland/Astraeus, presumably in different uniforms and perhaps with crew that will not be so familiar with the motions of EZY procedures? If this is the case I am sure they have been briefed!

EuroWings - The 757 will be at LPL until 30th June and then then fly from LGW until end of August. The crew are fully briefed on EZY procedures and will fly in an almost identical uniform to EZY

Actual SOP's/SEP's will likely be those of the actual airline. i.e Air Finland. Onboard service will follow the EZY procedure.

I also have been told that one of our cabin crew willl be on the aircraft as a pax both ways to help the crew and answer any questions they have
On the face of it as according to most that the reason the aircraft (and its crew) is leased its to cover crew shortages.
