However they did get put up in a luxury 5***** hotel.

Yes as long as the delay is within the airlines control.
In the case of French Air Traffic control strikes, No compensation is due as it is out of the airlines control.
im not sure about my friend flight above,they are being told it’s Due to ATC strikes in France, But a +24hr delay can’t be wholly due to ATC.

The inaugural ABZ - SEN is scheduled to arrive at 1500. With Glasgow and Stornoway to follow shortly and possibly more later in the year.

Im yet to be convinced by the convenience of 'London' Southend, but depends I suppose on your ultimate London locale. For me, central London is really only convenient with HEX via LHR or via LCY.

With Loganair including luggage in their fare (and they need to shout that from the rooftops) I hope these routes are a success.

Getting from Southend Airport to its rail station is far easier than getting to the platforms at Heathrow. The rail fare is far lower, and you get to Liverpool Street which is arguably a more central station than Paddington.

does anyone know what the hand baggage size is like on the E145? Quite like walking off and and out and not hanging about for a bag for an overnight trip (however free it might be).

25 min wait from joining the security queue to being able to put a bag on the conveyor belt on an ordinary weekday morning; security staff announcing a further 30 min wait to have a bag checked manually for liquids; and just 2 out of 4 X-ray machines in use.
I understand that this is probably the peak but time waiting in a security queue is time not spent in the shops. Perhaps worth hiring some more staff for the morning shift

Not sure about a formal requirement but at GLA I’ve seen them take what look like EZY/FR size cases off the aircraft and leave them at the steps when you disembark. What I’m not sure is whether they are formally checked in, or carried left at the aircraft by pax.

Train Services
Don't forget there is a full line closure between Wickford and Southend Victoria for 9 days from Saturday 25th May to Sunday 2nd June; no trains whatsoever. Buses between Wickford and Southend and a reduced train service from Wickford to Liverpool Street. c2c from Fenchurch Street fully operational throughout the period so at least you can get to and from Southend Central then a short bus or taxi ride.

Sounds like SEN is a now victim of its own success - No longer the quick and easy airport to swan through with ease if the security Q's are 30+ minutes.
Only 2 out of the 4 x-ray machines working for the 6am rush? Ludicrous...How many based 186/189 seat jets are now at SEN that all leave at the same times - 7 or 8 is it?
As another poster mentions that means no time to spend ££ in the DF shops and the bars/cafes.
The Owners of SEN need to quickly step up their workforce to ensure this matter is addressed PDQ.
If they don't and these delays continue, and remember we are not anywhere near the high season as yet, then loyal pax will simply drift away and not use SEN.

Whilst each department needs a competent chief, it's the XRay machines and staff that are needed immediately. Why delay things until a new security chief starts. The Airport CEO should sort out the problem before then.
