If we're dealing in facts as you suggest, there's nowhere on the easyJet network where they do that. Any crew base has aircraft based there. It's ludicrous to suggest they might have...

If you are short of pilots and need to cut back your schedule, you won't cut back on your most profitable routes. You'll take the worst performers and ditch those. The fact that GLA-SOU has been...

If you look at what they do on GLA/BHX in the winter, it's absolutely dire - nothing that could be classed as a workable schedule for business travel or commuters. If SOU/GLA ends up the same in...

It would be lovely to be so hopeful but I fear the next discussion may be much less positive. Chickens coming home to roost and all that. I hope I am proven wrong but time will tell.

Southend doesn’t have the obstacle issues that R20 at Southampton has. That’s the difference. Departure off 20 is still limiting for several aircraft types.
