Don’t think they know what’s going on half the time. They have added schedules for W23 to some routes although not to ORY beyond end Oct, what’s going on there?

I'm sure I'd heard somewhere that they were off doing some ACMI work for ITA Airways this winter, which would explain why they've also been advertising for Italian-speaking cabin crew.
Wonder how long that'll last?

They don't hold ORY slots in their own right as they belong to AF. Perhaps AF have no need for babysat slots for winter?

Indeed. I don't think Lufthansa probably thought that either.
Given the track record with British Airways then TAP Air Portugal now Air France and next ITA, you do wonder. Air France does not seem to be going well. They've had some better days lately after a disastrous start on SOU-ORY with huge delays every day on the EMA-ORY-SOU flight before the schedules were changed - but today's was seven hours late.

Didn't it end up going to Loganair operating it with a Saab? The IOM route went to Loganair.

Jethros reporting that the next E170 and E190 due into service with Eastern now are being re-marketed by a leasing company (Falco) - seems a little odd if they're both painted into Eastern livery (such as it is) and ready to enter service?

Example of their 'all white' livery: https://www.planespotters.net/photo/...erj-170-100-lr

Both are being advertised by the leasing company, Falko, not Eastern!

Based on the links above, something is VERY odd. I was expecting that at least one of the above was intended to join E190 G-CSLN on its ITA Airways lease commitments.
Are Eastern in the mire...…..?????

Just because both are being advertised doesn't mean both will be let go - it'll depend on who wants what. And isn't Eastern always open to offers on most of the fleet? I don't think the relationship with Falko is a new one.
Eastern change their mind about what they want to do on a daily basis and is often at the whim of the MD depending on what mood he is in. He’s probably just seen the bill for this latest foray into the jet world and spat his dummy out. The last lot of E-Jets they had sat doing nothing for ages, 1 was parked at HUY with a standby crew in a hotel nearby getting paid a daily contracting rate! This went on for weeks and weeks, you couldn’t make it up.
