EasyJet - 4
Being ex GB they've been long known about. If they have changed the order to reflect the Easyjet spec then I dare say they will keep them. If that is the case then an A321 order would be made in due course as operating 2 wouldn't really happen. If not, then i don't think they will.

Industrial Action at EZY?
Hi all,
Does anyone know what's happening with Easyjet in Germany? Yesterday there were many delays and cancellations at Berlin SXF. When I asked the groundstaff (Servisair) what the problem was they told me that the cabin crew had unexpectedly walked out on strike that morning. I assume this only was only the Berlin based crews as my flight to Liverpool was unaffected (and the cabin crew had no idea what was going on).
Anyone have any details?

The service sector union Verdi had scheduled a "warning strike" for Berlin based cabin and cockpit crew from 8 to 12 in the morning. "Warning strikes" are in the heavily regulated German IR system short strikes (usually a few hours), which can be legally undertaken during negotiations (not like a "real" strike, which can only be undertaken when negotiations have been declared a failure by one of the parties).

Easyjet flights from Berlin cancelled, delayed by strike | The New Age Online
More money, of course. VER.DI is pretty notorious for long strikes. They quite often want 5-7% more and then try how far they can go. A very big, rich and powerful union. They are somehow not worried EZY could close their SXF base (i.e. replace it with planes from elsewhere), as they have done with DTM. The strike is an example of the current German 'island thinking', i.e. they have 5% growth a year, so the unions of course now also want some more money. The word "austerity" is not known in Germany currently. Being blind towards e.g. Eastern Europeans doing the same work for a fifth of the money. The capitalistic solution would be (MOL-style): Base the planes in KUN, KTW or RIX, fly them to SXF in the morning, then onwards to Italy and Spain. No base in SXF necessary (FR has no base at SXF). Mind you, EZY's market-position in BER is quite strong, esp as AB is quite a bit more expensive, LH has very limited direct routes. EZY has monopolies to e.g. GVA, and most flights a day to the UK. There isn't much risk 4U or FR would try to steal UK routes from them, really esp with GBP and UK economy so weak. NB I believe all LTN flights are LTN based aircraft, so they were not affected.

What happens when Brandenburg International Airport opens next year, this will be the only civil airport for Berlin? In which case will EZY Maintain base, will FR maintain level of routes? Given that the shiny new airport will probably not come cheap in which charges may not be as flexible as they have been to date???

In my opinion when BBI airport will open next year there will be a lot of change in Berlin airline market.
LH have intention to move BBI into a small hub like DUS with a lot of new european route and some long range route.
AB is now the number one airline in TXL and wont to maintain this position in BBI. They offer a small hub with national, european and some long range route.
The position of low cost airline especially Easyjet and Ryanair is uncertain. New BBI have major cost and low cost airline may be reduce their presence.

It's not particularly about money either - although money is always important!
It is about easyjet having to be dragged kicking and screaming into compiance with German Labour Law,which as some will know requires a lot of information sharing and co-determination. This is anathema to easyjet management who seem to think they can bully the local employees into signing away or not pursuing their rights.
This often results in easyjet being taken to court, where they lose.
In a recent brush with the German legal system easyjet disputed a verdi lawyers fee that they were required to pay. The judgement - easyjet were ordered to pay triple the original fee. That is not the sort of judgement handed down against a litigant who is seen to be being reasonable.

EZY competition BER-GVA: Not happening.
Some good news for EZY at SXF then: It looks like the competition organised by Air Baltic and Skyways.se with a direct flight TXL-GVA planned to start from June is not happening. The flight is not bookable anymore on Skyways.se, and BT is giving prices >470 EUR, which is their usual way of telling you: "Well, we might get you there via RIX, but don't really want you to book this". This is surely a profitable route for EZY, with GVA area booming and no competition.
--- Correction 1st June:
This flight has appeared again ! Starting 29th August.

When are flights avilable to book for May 2012 onwards? Have booked a hotel in Sharm El Sheik for a week next May and want to have a look at flights. A load of us (friends and relatives) go away for a week every May always somewhere different and we always use EasyJet. Flights only showing until January 2012 at the moment whilst FR are showing up until June 2012?
Also, on another topic how can I change my username on this site? Can't seem to find anywhere to change it. Hamburg 2K8 was from when I lived and worked in Hamburg (for Airbus UK) in 2008.
Thanks and Good Evening!

Have they never heard of Herr OŽLeary then ?
EZY staff at their SXF base is organised in the powerful service union VERDI (millions of members) . SXF is EZY's only remaining base in Germany (probably for exactly that reason). The union has limited interest in the fate of Eastern European workers (as you can read in recent interviews about the 1st May job market opening).
Could an announcment about a SEN operation for 2012 be imminent?
This morning an Easyjet A319 arrived at SEN and is currently parked on the apron with an Eddie Stobart lorry on either side of it, as if ready for a photo shoot.
