So what makes you such an expert then?

Good idea! Perhaps you should first join a LoCo (starting as cabin crew of course! ) and then, after 2-3 years, you might have a clue what you´re talking about!

Bye bye!

I played a key role in starting a major low cost carrier some years ago. I've also created and run businesses that have given employment to over 100 aircrew and over 200 cabin crew.

What have you done with your life, Doug?

The Air Finland 757 is operating more or less full time for EZY ex LGW. They have used an MEA A321 today and various other subs including an MD83 (I think it's the Nordic one with strange titles, something about a beach resort in Palma). Across the network, it is the equivalent of five sub aircraft each day, so I'm told.

Have any other heads rolled at Easy after this farce?

It must be costing them a fortune.

I would guess the current "security " situation is most welcome at Easyjet they are able to cancel as many flights as they like with no bad publicity.Should enable them to operate a programme that sensibly fits with their available crewing levels.Interesting that the Uk charter industry has quietly got on with its job at the busiest time of year with virtually no cancellations,their customers having had their travel plans satisfied.

Just a little update on the EZY wetlease, we now have the Air Finland 757-200 OH-AFJ and Nordic Leisure MD-83 SE-RGP (pura beach logojet) based at LTN, they are staying with us for the next 6 weeks

The 757 operates the morning flight to FAO and the afternoon flight to ATH whereas the MD-83 operates the early morning AGP and afternoon flight to BUD

Also had an Air Slovakia 737-300 OM-RAN at LTN too, operating ALC flights for us!

Stampe has a point though. Why arenīt Virgin Atlantic, Thomas Cook, BMI and many other screaming murder and cancelling flight after flight?

Has the FUA Futura wet-lease ended now?

Only asking for a friend who is due to fly LPL-BSL.

I think it's back to Ezy 737.

Ta v much

Yah the two Futuras' have gone. Little bit earlier than planned from what I gather, can neither confirm nor deny it had anything to do with the Langford Lodge incident. Lets just say we are very grateful to Belfast ATC. Could be a 737 or a 319 to take your friend over to BSL. I think we had an eirjet 320 subbing for us over the past few days.

I would be interested to find out just how much EZY has spent on cancelling and subbing out this summer, can't imagine it will ever be made public.
