EasyJet-6
I see easyJet has just agreed a pay deal with cabin crew, with a 20% rise in basic pay over the next 18 months.
Although it's a big step, the element of this which caught my eye was around delay pay. If a flight is more than an hour late, every cabin crew member gets £15 and if it goes over two hours late, the payment doubles. Isn't this just a sure-fire way of making sure that any delay of 50 minutes turns into a delay of an hour, and every delay of just less than two hours turns into a delay of more than two hours? I can't believe anyone in airline management would be so fundamentally stupid as to sign up to something like this, but someone clearly has. Absolutely potty.

Fundamentally if you get delayed, then it’s the same as any other airline and you crack on, get the job done and accept it’s part and parcel of airline life. If you’re telling me that this is the norm already, it speaks volumes about easyJet OTP.

COme back here with evidence of the OTP across the network and then try and tell me crews are deliberately making departures go over the threshold.............

easyJet to enter the Cape Verde market.
Commencing 29th October, easyJet will launch a new four times weekly route between Lisbon and Sal, Cape Verde. A second twice weekly service between Porto and Sal will commence the following day.
One wonders if the growth of easyJet Holidays will mean new routes to Cape Verde from the UK?

320neo or 321neo would both make it from the UK. But reading their people's social media stuff, it sounds like they've made a right song and dance with internal process about starting these flights from Portugal - "we've never been so far south before", "our first route to the West Africa region" and so on - that you wonder how long it would take to add UK-Cape Verde flights should they wish.

If we’re talking about UK - Cape Verde flights, the crew would presumably nightstop, which has been common place in HRG and SSH for UK based crews for the last couple of years. LIS and OPO based crews can do a there and back during one duty. No big deal with regards to crew.
