EZY to open a few new summer routes from SXF (JMK, RHO), BSL (FAO, IBZ), LTN (HER) and MXP (EFL, KGS, ZTH) next summer.

The last 737s leave the fleet this weekend. 'KD is going for parting out at Kemble - and it's under 8 years old!

Worth more breaking for parts than selling...........

The problem is fella is that this is mainly a pilots forum not an investors forum and whilst the financial health of your employer is important because in most cases the better they are doing the better you'll do this does not seem to apply to your beloved FR!

I work for neither FR or Easy but if had to work for another airline FR would be at the very bottom of my list, this has of course nothing to do with the pilots and cc at FR, but knowing a good number who have worked for both of the above a substantial number of FR want out the not the case at Easy.

Yes FR are more profitable, they are unethical as well, a chunk of the extra margin that FR comes from some very questionable employment arrangement of it's pilots many seem to be self employed not by choice but by decree working out of the Republic but neither working there or living there, not paying UK NI but living in the UK.

If some with more IT skills than me ( won't be difficult!) can set up a poll on here about who you would least like to work for then I would expect FR to top it.

FR why o why is an employer trying to enforce 2-3 months of unpaid leave one minute because there is no flying to be had and at the same time flying the Tango aircrafts socks of with new pilots

Yes great airline if your an investor at least for now, but everyone else involved it's not quite the deal you thought you signed up for, still at least when your positioning on your day off doing your sim, which you've paid for, tax deductible on your day off your helping keep the fares down.

FR must be the only airline with a AAA credit rating that Aiirbus won't do business with.......

So back to pilots stuff please or bugger off to Paddy power investor forum

INKJET - as far as I am aware, Ryanair do not have a long term credit rating, most likely because they have not issued any bonds or other form of readily tradable debt securities. Just for good measure, I've also checked for credit default swaps from which one might be able to infer an implied credit rating, but again I drew a blank. It should be noted that Easyjet are in the same position - no credit rating, no tradable debt and no observable CDS.

It should of course be noted that a company usually has to pay one of Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch for a public credit rating - thus removing the incentive in part for Ryanair to have a rating. In any case, if anyone thinks Ryanair is deemed as low a risk as AAA they are probably very optimistic

8 years old? surely someone will have that! Put one on storage maybe like they did with Monarch's DC-10 that would be good!

Didn't notice you commenting on the last time when U2 737's went to Kemble when break up rather than sale was discussed.

Is LPL to FUE dropped for Summer 2012? Cannot see it on sale but ACE is so perhaps it is becoming a winter only route?

Also see the baggage charges have gone up again £14 ew from LPL to GIB - will soon be cheaper to buy an extra seat! In fact for our 2 bags one way it would have been! But hey, they can say the average fare is low still!

Liverpool-Fue on sale twice weekly for Summer 12

Since when was MON's DC10 ever in storage?, or do you mean the one in 'storage' at MAN at the moment?

yep i mean that one

Thats very helpful, thank you all. Have the 737-700's gone now... I thought it was November that they left?

bye bye 737
 

Last revenue flights tomorrow for KC & KD

One further A320 will transfer to easyJet Switzerland this week.

Also, EZS has 15 A319s, not 12.

EZY and EZY Swiss have always moved aircraft around in the winter and summer periods.
