Not sure if I am misreading or not but the latest batch of job vacancies on the EasyJet website includes pilots with A320/A330/A340 type-rating for ops from LTN / LGW and 'Portugal'. What's that all about?

Parking tanks on lawns isn't easy's forte, that's certainly more Ryanair's territory. Hamburg the latest example of that...

What do people think easyJets future might look like? To stick my neck out...

-It is very cash rich
-It likes a leading role in markets (which is only sensible for marketing), but it's hard to acquire these with organic growth in a developed market
-It is sensible for it to grow a little...
-... but in a low risk way as investors do not universally agree
-It seems to have lost the golden touch when it comes to organic growth
-It needs to not become an Air Berlin with no place in either low cost or premium markets
-It has the organisational ability to deal with mixed fleets and to successfully integrate acquisitions

-In view of most of the above Jet2 would be a great acquisition?

You missing a key ingredient................... LEADERSHIP.

I believe the type rating for pilots might be the same or similar for all 3 aircraft types. I think there is flight deck commonality between those aircraft.

Sorry. Should have checked - I knew one did!

And appear to have promoted reasonable demand. Think previous tour op SOF ventures from Scotland never came to much. Suspect doing well with inbound rather than using it just as a 'ski route'

but you could also add Meridiana/Volotea/Croatian/Alitalia and even parts of the Norwegian network
All these would have to come cap in hand to EZY, their only assets are slots. EZY could just wait for them to fail or retreat then move in accordingly, but that is the same as a few. I'm sure they would be happy to see Norwegian retreat from LGW.
RYR have walked in to Italy over the years and not worried about Alitalia in the slightest.

EDI to SOF seems to be winter only, to 24 April. I assume that it will at least in part, be on contract to a tour operator.

With Brexit Easyjet will not be taking over anybody as EU Airline has to be 50.1% owned by EU Citizens.

He also holds British citizenship so he can be either.
Kind of one way to force the board into his line of thinking.

French EasyJet pilot convicted for flying ?while suffering the after-effects of ecstasy?

Only a suspended sentence?

Self service bag drop at MAN a mess
 
Arrived at MAN yesterday for what I knew would be a very busy flight with lots of large families not known for easy communication. The self service weigh and tag terminals were crowded and several were not working. When I got to a terminal it failed half way through.. Queues were getting longer and the staff were running around trying to do manually what was meant to be automatic.

Frankly, if they returned to traditional bag drops, there would have been the same number of staff, but shorter queues and fewer annoyed passengers. Automated systems cannot cope with families with buggies, car seats, overweight luggage and that is one family of nine including a baby.

Back to the future easyJet.

Alasdair1, As you're told every year, again and again, no one knows the easyJet schedule apart from the commercial department at easyJet until the flights are released. Your continued question on the same thing year in year out is boring to say the least.

DC3 Dave 2nd Sep 2017 21:21

Wot... no ppruners in the commercial department? How very disappointing.

Gulf Julliet Papa 2nd Sep 2017 23:54

If it was that important why not fly with an airline that has daily flights to Turkey?
