This is a question for those of you working at SEN or close to the reliable information.
Acknowledging all the controversy relating to Stobart having E195s unavailable to service some of the Flybe schedule. Can I ask how many E195s were in the plan when the announced the SEN schedules - was it 2 or 3 aircraft?
Currently, what is the status, how many have they got in service right now and do they still have an aircraft away for maintenance?
Thanks, mik3bravo.

EF appeared to be unserviceable again this morning creating 4 hours delays on their later flights. It did get airborne after lunch and is back online. When will Stobart Air be able to return this aircraft back to Flybe?

Is G-FBEF not due to go back to Flybe fairly soon now? All I know is what I learn from this forum, but I believe that EB is not part of the final deal. Can anyone in the know say when this demon is due back with Flybe and Stobart gets a more reliable replacement. I've got October in mind but as I say, all I know is what I pick up here.

EZY flight to/from AMS delayed 4 hours, but the inbound to SEN will divert to LTN in the early hours "due to lack of human resources at SEN"....or is this a cheaper way to get their rescue plane back to base LTN earlier. Pax will be bused to SEN. In case you didn't know one of the OE- reg A319s went tech early this morning and a replacement was sent in from LTN to operate the Alicante and Amsterdam flights.

SEN has managed to stay open until 2am for one of their own E195s, I don’t see why EZY will be any different? Perhaps a poorly veiled attempt to evade compensation by saying its out of their hands?

Was this from Easy themselves?
On the EasyJet site it said that the plane was needed back at Luton for the following days programme- no lie there

Thanks for that , looks indeed like they must have changed it after you noticed it.
Perhaps somebody thought better and decided to tell the real reason

More lies?
EZY flight SEN-PMI delayed 45 mins, which in itself is not too bad, but the excuse given on website says "due to congestion at departure airport. Aircraft may be pushed back on time but must wait in a holding area". Have you seen the departures board for that period? I think three departures.
