There’s mention on another forum that the pilots pay deal has been accepted. Anyone able to confirm?

@Stupmy. Likewise, yesterday I did a small top up at 450 based on nothing but gut feel and a belief this will come good. I was also ready to add further if it fell more. I was going to ask you if you felt it had bottomed out.

Keep the faith, this will come good. An outbreak of realism around the fundamentals or a bid. Either way, there is massive value in this business, medium and long term holders will, in my opinion, be rewarded.

Hi Stille. Sorry, the bike reference has gone straight over my head!

I’ve been following the prices on the Southampton/Glasgow route and they are looking good from a SP perspective; often £100 plus a week or two out.

Apparently, according to the Northern Echo, EZJ are adding 8 new routes from Newcastle:

Alicante

Amsterdam

Belfast

Bristol

Geneva

Lyon

Majorca

Paris

More regional please! In particular my local airport, Southampton!

It’s an observation that’s all.

@Stupmy. Getting uncannily near to 463!

No idea apart from an outbreak of sanity to reward those of us who kept the faith! Could see 500 by the end of the week perhaps?

Hi all. Can anyone recommend an under seat bag/case meeting the 45/36/20 max size? I’m thinking of an Aerolite one but am open to suggestions.

Thanks

Hi

Hi Stupmy. I certainly won’t be placing any reliance on it, it was mainly out of my curiosity. I will track it of course.

I tend to go on gut but also a bit of research, listen to others etc. I’d love to understand TA more although would never rely solely on it. I don’t day trade, I’ve been building a relatively modest stake for the medium to long term.

On another forum yesterday someone mentioned the drop post October update, subsequent fall, stabilisation and then recovery. I’m a novice here (20 months in, hold 2807, average 353) and look at others’ posts, do a bit of research, go a bit by gut feel and learn as I go. I look at some of the TA postings and don’t profess to understand but out of interest have done a simple What-if scenario. The following is not a prediction in any way and is no attempt at ramping; it is purely a What-if so here goes:

What if the recovery from the October fall was exactly mirrored following the fall from 16 May!

Pre fall on 12 October the SP was 437. It then went:

20 October 360 (18% down)

20 November 435

20 December 508

19 January 499

19 February 567

On 15 May it was 529

Based on the same number of days between each date point this would come out as:

23 May 436 (it was actually 457)

23 June 527

23 July 615

22 August 604

22 September 686

As I say, it is a crude What-If and should be taken at face value and no more. But I thought I’d share it.

I’m a small investor. Added another small amount at 493.

Likewise, thanks MrShiny. So the reality is that it is currently in the normal negotiation stage with no imminent threat of a strike ballot. Over-hyped and misleading headline as far as I’m concerned.

Can you clarify on the “pay dispute”? Is there actually a formal dispute scenario or is it just ongoing negotiations? For example has strike action actually been mentioned/balloted on etc?

A small top up for me, only 100 at 507. Gla.

Interesting. Loganair are ceasing their Glasgow/Southampton route as from 10 May. They cite resilience but it seems too much of a coincidence that easyJet are just about to increase their flights to 6 days a week on the same route! Come on easyJet, there’s more to be had from Southampton; Paris and Amsterdam for starters!

Just heard on my local BBC Radio Solent that more flights are going to be added at Southampton; France, Spain, Italy and Malta. No mention of timescales or operators. Here’s hoping EZJ are part of the action! Southampton is an excellent regional airport, good transport connections and catchment area.

@Max. Likewise I hold as I’m in for the medium to long term. Only got into shares 18 months ago, quite a novice but I’m doing nicely. Got in September 2022 at just under 280, topped up over 3-4 months after that and again this year. Only hold 2500 (I’m small time, not a pro) but my average is 339. If this falls below 500 I’ll be increasing my stake by 10% or so. Picked up quite a lot of knowledge/info from being on this board. Glad Nutmeg no longer posts!! GLA!

Hi Clank. I have 2500 and am lucky enough to be on an average of 339. I could take a nice cut now but I believe in this business and will be sitting it out. You have to do what is right for you of course but good luck!

A bit of trivia on this bank holiday. Using a flight app I have (no, I’m not a nerd!) as at 1735 there were 111 easyJet flights showing as “live” - pushed back or airborne. Think of all that revenue at premium prices!

Anyone think the sp could break 600 this week? GLA.
