Birmingham: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[Birmingham Aviation]

I flew AYT-BHX last night and one of my travellers had a chat with the Captain who said the base should be 5 units in S25

Was it a full flight

Was it a full flight

181 pax AYT-BHX

He did say a couple of people never made the BHX-AYT leg then they had to off loads cases etc, so we were delayed 1h 20m out of AYT !

Easyjet seem to have an aversion to placing A32N's at BHX at the mo. Is there a different type rating for the CEO as opposed to the NEO? Might that be the reason does anyone in the group know?
I'm thinking not, but haven't a clue tbh

I’m hoping that if we get 2 more based aircraft we could see at least 6-7 routes next summer

Rovaniemi added, 2x weekly from Nov 25th until Jan 5th.

Wait have we got a 4th based aircraft for winter as I don’t see any slots available for the Sunday for any of the based at the moment.Its just Wednesday is the best for the spare aircraft

There is no difference in type rates all easyjet pilots are allowed to fly all type of aircraft part from the A321neo which requires additional training for the increase risk of tail-strike and floating on landing I got to be in the flight deck for landing at London Gatwick on the A321Neo filmed the experience and notice the difference. But It’s will be down to the agreement with airport and operational needs.

Well Cabin Manager 😉😂 but to answer the question during your fam flights you have to do a few take offs and landings in the flight deck to see the stress levels and for CRM but also if we are crewed heavy the pilots let the one crew member sit in the flight deck.Same for most of airlines part from a yellow and blue one 🤨
