Default EasyJet to sack up to 4,500 staff and close its bases at Stansted & 2 others
Also, Close bases at Southend and Newcastle


Bound to happen , sadly
due to China's Covid-19 virus
has changed the whole world.

https://news.sky.com/story/easyjet-p...bases-12018150

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53239256

[It follows an announcement by the
airline that it may need to reduce
staff numbers by up to a third
because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Unite union said nearly 1,300
UK crew members faced losing their jobs.
Pilots' union Balpa said it had been
told by EasyJet that 727 of its
UK-based pilots were also at risk of redundancy.]


[EasyJet chief executive Johan Lundgren
(pictured at Gatwick on June 15) said the
proposals were 'difficult to put forward
in what is an unprecedented and difficult time']
