Seljuk22 Thanks for reply.

"What about Tunisia? EZY flying to Maroc and Egypt but not to Tunisia. Any reason for that?"

There is no opensky agreement UE / Tunisia it means only bilateral agreements applied.
UE / Morroco opensky agreement exists, evrybody in UE able to fly!

The new tunisian airport ENFIDHA due to open in october may be will change quickly the situation

easyJet announces new base!
 

FCO.... beginning November 2009.. looks like a strategy to expand on the Italian market.Pilots on italian contract.

I am very interested in FCO as being in the holding pool and living in Rome!
May I ask you where the info is coming from and how certain it is.
Thanks.

Company mail-shot on Friday - Only MXP based pilots are being asked (forced) first..........

Forced??:eek: why force pilots while they have so many in the holding pool who would be so much happy to join in fco? Come on easy give us a call!:ok:
Will they use new aircrafts for fco or move some from mxp?

craggenmore doesn't tell you the whole story:

Currently there are 3 a/c nightstopping in FCO. These a/c are crewed from mxp, therefore mxp is overcrewed. If they were to get "external" crew, mxp would remain overcrewed, which is of course not ideal. So the company hopes that there will be enough volunteers to go from mxp to fco, and I can think of a few, so that both fco is crewed and mxp is at the right crewing level again.

If there isn't enough interest from mxp based pilots to transfer, anybody else in the company can bid for fco, based on doj.

Base opening on 2nd of nov 2009, which will also see the amount of a/c go up to 4 initially.

thanks PGA
well if one additional a/c will go to fco may be they will hire some external crew for that aircraft at least. i hope so at least...

Traffic June 2009:

Passengers: 4,146,609 +0.8%
Load factor: 86.3% -0.6 p.p.

Not bad for the toughest trading conditions the company has seen in its short history. These figures are in comparison to a record breaking summer last year!

It`s yield that is important though, all well and good having 100 pax paying £10 but 50 paying £50 would be better

Last year figures include the addition of GB Airways but the corresponding GB Airways figures for 2008 were not included so the growth was overstated but think everybody is aware of this.

Will we ever see additional flights to Bournemouth (EGHH) ?

There has been alot of speculation around LTN for awhile now it could be Tel Aviv with the 320

Just looked at LTN - SSH - LTN

LTN - SSH Dep 11.10 arriving 18.30
SSH - LTN Dep 19.30 arriving 23.20

So that makes from Check In to Check out 13 hr 50 min duty ouch :\ but it shows a 1hr turnaround time in SSH. Is this similar to LGW?

Pretty similar. Sometimes is 55mins rather than 1 hour. And my pain from a 13:50 duty time disappears when we cash up!

Are the pilots allowed to do nearly 14 hours?

Yes, using Level 2 alleviation.

Adamski, my old friend..... you'll love them Sharms!!!!

They taste all the sweeter when you realise you're only paid for an ATH. The rest is free.
My last SSH was flown using a new route and was approx 2,400nms each way. Long day.

Serious question as you have landed (plane usable again so its a great landing) and stress of work over, then you get to your car.

Is Pilot safe to drive after 14 hours in the air ?
