Aha we have a down to earth numerate post!

I see journalists are as innumerate in the UK as they are in the U.S.

Sounds like someone sold Easyjet a really expensive wax and polish job.

Hi P.Koschei
Journalists make money on ‘sort’ of facts. Knowing that only a tiny minority of those they tarnish, will bother to take them to the ‘legal cleaners’ (cost, time and effort).

Maybe they threw in a manicure and pedicure for life for EasyJet’s CEO in the package.

My gut feeling is that if the aviation world knew about this before or since 2002 when TripleO went public and if it made savings of the claims made then it would be standard for most civil aircraft.
