Exactly you want a clean aircraft, then behave like a proper human being and dont dump your s**t everywhere.
Speedy boarding, it tells you in black and white its £15 out £9 return as you might be on a bus.. get over it if you dont want it dont buy it,..

Yes that's correct, thats how we feel about pax leaving the a/c in an utter mess and then they have the nerve to complain that it's not up to standard! We have 20 mins on the ground to sort it out, is it too much to ask people to keep there area tidy?!?!?!
As for the speedy boarding, yes I agree it is a rip off! Why pay for it, at the end of the day we are all on the same a/c, all going to the same place and all going to arrive at the same time!! (And all going to get held up by the same problems at the same airport)!
I couldn't agree more that easyJet is very quick to take money off people, but you'll find that every major airline, and big companies are the same.
I'm not having a pop at passengers because if they don't fly then I don't have a job, and you'll find that most crew who work for EJ are ***** off big time at the moment with the managment becasue we are being screwed aswell!!!

I only use LO-CO if I have to position and the company pays. They are all a joke and would never consider working for them....as for taking my family on holiday with them - never again!!! ever......

"Selling customers' bank account details to fraudulent US-based outfits called something like "Shopper Discount" must have earned them hundreds of thousands of pounds."
That's illegal under European law, European Safe Harbor principles, so I somehow don't see a very experienced operator, specifically an internet reliant operator playing who-blinks-first with the UK Information Commissioner...

I can understand that you may feel somewhat aggrieved as CC but don't take it out on pax. If you want to treat us like cattle (SLF) we will act like them, not speaking personally but cattle ****, that easy.
Priority boarding? Fortunately I know about it and would not touch it but many are first time with EZY and feel they are being well and truly shafted. Not your fault but be so feckin blase about saying 'just dont buy it'
Bitch about your T&Cs all you want, you could always go look for another job. In the same way we will look for another carrier which brings me back to you to looking for another job.
I have several times tried to get to get rid of my rubbish on both EZY & FR but CC not interested so have had to leave it behind thereby taking up some of your valuable 20 mins turnaround, tough, you want to ignore me then take the cosequences.
In your collective favour most CC on all locos I have found to be very good, you are just not a very good advert for them.

If you actually flew one a few of these, as I now do to get a cheaper and altogether better flight than available on any loco, you would know that every major airline is infinitely better than Easyjet. EG 4 sectors on AF/KL last weekend over CDG, and 2 on BA using LHR T5 last week, both cheaper than Easyjet on the same routes (if you count Luton as London, which is stretching credulity), with polite and pleasant staff, nice little snacks and a 1/4bottle of wine or two, 20Kg hold baggage included in the fare, do I need to go on..................no non-stop full volume announcements of stupid "special offers" during the flight, no shouted orders to clean up the aircraft to help the loco achieve a quick turnround, no harassment on boarding.
And all for a lower fare; it's a no-brainer.

Yes, it is, isn't it. And under British Law. That's why I used the words "I have no doubt at all that these are all deliberate frauds". I found myself paying £8.00 per month to ShoppersDiscounts, of which I had never heard, from a Bank Account I used for business internet puchases, after booking an Easyjet flight last August. I had to close the account to kill the payment. Some Google research revealed that I was one of thousands who had had the same thing done to them. Mistake? No. Something carefully buried in a miniscule piece of small print on a T&Cs PDF attached to the site? Possibly; it's still a fraud.
Did I mention the Insurance scam? A cost approaching that of an annual premium with a reputable company for a return flight's worth of poor cover?
The excess baggage scam? £84 for 6 kilos on one sector; another £84 to bring it back again. Jesus, these people give the whole industry a bad name.

Do an experiment.
At midnight, go on-board any aircraft/power off, close all the blinds and inspect all the upholstery with a portable black light.
Oh, no , just realized you can't do that. Good thing too. That will save you puking through the rest of the night.

Don't let your judgement of the commercial side of easyJet bear any resemblance of the quality of the maintenance. They are 2 total seperate entities and thoughtless wonderings can cause unnecessary alarm

My dear friend I had spent 16 years of my life living abroad, mainly in africa and south east asia, I have flown with the folowing:
BA
Air France
Egypt Air
Garuda Indonesia
Singapore Airlines
KLM
KLM UK
Qatar Airways
To sum up, they all have their faults, they have all had their fair share of rude crew!
Maybe you have had bad experiance with EJ crews, but there must be a reason.
We do extremly long days, we see 600+ people everyday, how many of these do you think are polite, how many times do we get ignored??
After a while crews do get hacked off, it doesn't mean we are not profesional. I grant you there are crew's who need and good slap and who shouldn't be doing the job but thats the same in every job!!

I'm not a super frequent customer of easyJet (or dodgyJet as we call it in my circle), but I fly with them several times a year - when the price and/or schedules make it the best option for the particular trip. It's true, the website is a real "web" of traps and tricks, Speedy Boarding is a scam (but really - does anyone fall for it more than once?), and the boarding experience can be harrowing for the faint of heart. But I've never encountered dirty interiors, rude cabin crew, or anything but a no-fuss, professional, efficient trip once in the plane.
But then I almost always fly with easyJet Switzerland, which I gather is a somewhat separate operation from the UK version. Perhaps standards are better? Anyone here with experience of both who can compare?
Having a ticket cancelled because of "fraud" would certainly enrage me, but by far the most disturbing thing on this thread is that Anti-ice paid £700 (£700!!) for two dodgyJet tickets. There are only three possible explanations for this:
a) dodgyJet now flies to Hong Kong
b) Anti-ice was travelling to attend a funeral on 24 hours notice
c) Anti-ice is out of his/her mind

i'm going to buck the trend,
i use easy jet a lot out of Gib to Lgw and from UK to other destinations.
either solo, with my young family or as part of a large group.
i've never been delayed for more than 30 mins.
A/c has been clean.
Crew have been polite and curteous.
For the price i pay, less than a meal and a few drinks in town, each way i think they provide xcellent value for money!

think he just had a bad day/flight.
just explaining what we put up with, myself and most of EZY crew do a damn good job,
You may do a damn good job, and good for you. So do I, but why would I want to tell you all about that? You are not the slightest bit interested in my self-appraisal. And vice versa. I do not agree, however, with your assessment of most of EZY staff. Some maybe. Most, no.
What I cannot stand is the contempt that loco passenger contact staff, especially Easyjet, have for their customers, together with an apparent belief that it's their customers' job to make their lives easier and better. And the way you gabble endlessy and unintelligibly on the PA pushing over-priced tat and stale food. I know that it's company orders, but give us a break; just think for a change about what we have to put up with during the whole Easyjet experience.

Jeez Capot...choose another carrier!
Jeez Capot, I presume that you fly EasyJet because etheir schedules are best suited to your needs - or that they charge less than other carriers on the same route(s).
If you don't like what you get for your ££, you should vote with your feet!
(Like they'll notice the difference!)
