Okay yes those ET seats look dire and striped to the bare bones. Sod doing anything over 2 hrs on them. As much as I ..... about my home airport of LGW never getting new stuff( even our aircraft tend to be LHR 'hand-me-downs') in this case whilst I tend to avoid ET you boys & girls at LHR are welcome to these lol.
On a side note I'm considering getting the exact seat dimensions and setting up a new company. We will only produce one product, it shall be seat cushions ( in the ilk of the neck pillows you get) and will be called "BA Bums" ( TM & Intellectual Properties Pending). Would anyone care to invest

Sorry, Easy aren't the timely ones at all. They're having serious problems with timekeeping between the summer storms and the various striking and incapable air traffic controllers (especially, of course, the French) combined with their short LCC turnaround. I don't think I've been on an afternoon or evening flight that arrived on time on Easy for months now, and I fly them weekly or so. Much the same operational issues as BA combined with even less schedule slack than BA is leading to chronic delays.
The back of the BA A320 NEOs does look awfully like a monochrome version of the new Easyjet seats, though.

Wow, those seats are atrocious. Frontier/Spirit level bad. I know they *just* densified with those pinnacle seats a few years ago too. At least the 'old' Pinnacle seats are reasonably comfortable and are stylish especially compared to the flying bus seats. Hawaiian only uses seats like these on 30-40 minute hops and really that's the only use case that makes sense to me.

EZY achieve OTD rates simply by cancelling 50 flights at the slightest hint of somebody sneezing too much in Val-d'isčre. A flight can't be late if it never leaves
^^^ tongue in cheek i'm aware how it actually works
@flatlander - I think i read somewhere that they are in fact the exact same seat but laziness stops me checking the veracity of this statement

I recall recent marketing from Air Baltic claiming to be either Europe's or the world's most punctual airline. Presumably there is a myriad of different ways of cutting it, depending on who you want to put at the top. Perhaps U2 is more punctual based only on it's LGW operations, or the most punctual for the first flight of the day, or the most punctual airline with an orange livery...

Flew in their C Series yesterday. Lovely aircraft, lots of legroom for me (5’ 10”) and very good small moving map screens.
Sounds like a vast improvement over the Easy-a-like A320.

What was supposed to happen by now is that the new onboard WIFI would cover this functionality. Unfortunately, while the aircraft are equipped for this, the regulatory sign off is being held up by various legal challenges from INMARSAT's competitors.

and if you want the altitude, go to the compass.
