Oh I see that the TROLL is back!

[emma1]

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional ... ok that could be me.

So when Easyjet announce new routes on the 12th , what will they be?

Venice ?

Macadonia ?

IOM ?

[West Brit]

Extra Gatwick and or Manchester/Birmingham rotations!

[emma1]

You are correct , as Ezy are getting a 6th aircraft , so 3 319s and 3 320 .

On the 12th the NEO is arriving with a fanfare and new European routes also .

[Husky One]

The BFS plan is 2x 320 and 4x 319. Never been talk of of 3 320's. the NEO is only coming in for a day as a PR exercise to show it off. BFS is well down the pecking order for a based NEO.

[emma1]

sorry , you are correct husky one , neo is for one day.

[BFS BHD]

4x A319 & 1x A320 for W17/18

3x A319 & 3x A320 for S18
Been confirmed in news reports and also on seat maps!

Sunday 24th June 2018 for example needs three A319s and three A320s.

EZY6755 Malaga 0600 (A319)
EZY6701 Alicante 0610 (A320)
EZY6793 Faro 0625 (A319)

EZY6671 Barcelona 0750 (A320)

I flew on a Pegasus 320NEO about 6 weeks ago from Istanbul down to Bodrum. Nice machine. Does start up like a "big" jet and noticeably quieter in flight.

[canberra97]

I see that user Emma1 has reported me to the mods all because of her widebodie comments and me calling her a Troll, I just thought I would share that with my fellow posters!

Anyone know why my flight yesterday from Belfast had a Scottish captain and a cabin mixed with Scottish and Northern Irish flight attendants? This happens occasionally.

[KNT544]

Heaven forbid! How dare this happen. Is it not permitted to live or work in a different country now?

Norn'Iron in a nutshell, right there.
I seem to remember Glasgow and Belfast having some form of close relationship for reasons best not mentioned here.

Down the pecking order for based, but Belfast has been receiving Easy NEOs from Luton since mid-June. Seems a bit late to be PRing it up.

Um, a bit of a melodramatic reaction. I was just wondering if the crews had a mixed and why this would happen when Belfast has its own base?

[Refuellerman]

Maybe the pilot moved over here to live, ever heard of ulster-scots or irish Scottish celts.

[owenc]

Wtf? Seriously.

[West Brit]

Maybe Graham Keddie doubles up if there is a pilot becomes ill!

[easyflyer83]

It all depends on where the crew choose to base themselves. MAN base had a number of Northern Irish crew a few years ago, for instance. That base also has a number of Scottish and numerous ‘scouse’ (despite having a LPL base) crew and I guess all it takes is for the stars to align and you have a crew that you mistake for being based elsewhere.

Occasionally you will also get flights that, for whatever reason, are crewed by crew from two or more different bases.
