NoTailT Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 They weren't let go in the UK. All this says is that the Government employment schemes during COVID failed. They went on furlough. Then decided to take up additional paid employment driving for Tesco or a truck to earn more money whilst getting paid furlough by their airline employers. The UK in essence bandaged the delivery driver shortage by sabotaging another sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need fecking kicking - Easyjet that is. It really is time that the CAA stepped in and took some action regarding easyJet's current operational performance. I'm not necessarily referring just to the regular IOM cancellations, but the whole meltdown that is occurring across their network. As the regulator, they should be acting to protect passenger, and public, interest perhaps by instructing easyJet (and others) to pre-emptively cancel and consolidate future flights, refund money upfront and automatically, to make sure that their flying programme and resources are more closely matched and people have the resources and opportunity to make fresh travel plans. If this costs easyJet 10's of millions, then so be it. Reading the link above to the letter from, French pilots, this whole situation was foreseeable, but ignored by senior management. You would think that this puts a question mark over their suitability to run an airline. Edited June 10, 2022 by Nellie 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the slack in slot use during COVID is now gone, especially at busy airports like Gatwick. If they forward planning canning say 15% of their network for rest of the summer, the regulators (CAA and ACL) will swipe the slots away from them for underutilisation. It's a shit show.

Perhaps Easyjet should not have leased all those extra Gatwick slots off BA then?. Edited June 10, 2022 by ellanvannin2010 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
