Later, posing with a cake orange and white giant and 15 cabin crew to mark the occasion, McCall chooses to forward rather than storing them. It is a mantra that should run by his plans for the carrier plans which will be integrated into a strategic update for the company this week.

Sunday Telegraph includes announcement Tuesday - that will accompany the results of the year of the company - will focus on McCall believes will deliver the best results for the carrier without veering too far its strategy said be Europe leader in low-cost airline - and more rentables.Consensus forecasts for the year September 2010 suggest a profit slightly more 150 million from ￡.

Although a key strategic attack component is supposed to be based on gain a greater share of business travellers, this does not mean easyJet is about to begin its cabins of segregation.

What a source called a "easyJet-style business proposal" may require greater flexibility for business travellers willing to pay regular a little more clients, but not a departure of egalitarian ethic of the company.

McCall also believes examined pre-assigned seats - allows customers to choose seats for a fee - but a final decision has not been filed.

The other major push will continue with its predecessor Andy Harrison for passengers leisure drive, partly thanks to a recent docking with group travel Low Cost in order to provide products of holiday emballés.Il is expected that the joint venture will deliver ￡ 100 m in the first year of sales for easyJet and up to as much as 500 m ￡ a three year.

Plan, it believes, is to attempt to convert some of the people of 50 m who visit easyJet web site each year in the purchase of flights not only but the hotels and other auxiliary elements in holiday.

The agreement is possible because of the trade mark agreement signed with founding shareholder and 38pc Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, there is one month license.Who came after a legal tension heated in summer, which led to him to give his rights to appoint himself as President of easyJet and allowing the company to use the "easy" name for ancillary sales for him be returned 0 25pc of profits.

McCall and Chairman, Sir Michael Rake, formerly global Chairman of KPMG, forged the agreement after Sir Stelios dispatched a so-called "cure notice", giving the airline 90 days to resolve the problem for three weeks in the mandate of McCall, Chief Executive Officer.

The other pressing element in its tray upon arrival was operational performance of the company, which prompted an outcry of not only its main shareholder, but tens of thousands of passengers whose vacation was delayed as a result.

July - months, as she arrived - saw the worst delays, with shares of fall 7 1pc in a day after she admitted the company was ""examine all assumptions"to the question."

The root of the problem is the increased use of the fleet of easyJet in the summer months and plus-horaires pilots and cabin crew to meet demand for summer .McCall put in place urgent measures to stop the problems, the worst that had Gatwick.

Breaks were placed in calendars and cancellations are planned in advance to minimize the inconvenience to passengers. New cabin were not written due to latency recruitment from six to nine months of training and security clearance.

After spending time in the air with the cabin crew and staff 15 19 databases the easyJet ground now, McCall is heard have the feeling that the airline is now stable operational.

An insider of the industry, however, stressed that, although the problem seems to have calmed the moment, it is partly the result of the annex, which is lighter in the winter months, and that the true test of its ability to control the situation comes next spring, as the summer timetable starts walking.

His next move on this front will be to raise the morale of staff - which took a pounding the breakup of cancellations - and increase revenues and profits.

A way of doing that, at the top of the improvement of its height leisure and business clients, will be to increase the money he earns per passenger flight.

Nick Hughes, who took up acting role as head of the accessories in may, is supposed to have been appointed to the position full time and focus on stopping sold products and how they are stored.

McCall has in the past said that better food colleagues must be on the cards, and Hughes is in search of the best equipped cabin with products just do as many passengers as possible extra money.

Although this approach differs from market to market - Pret A Manger sandwich will not the agenda on all flights - overall, clients can expect to notice of amendments by next year.

The main other pane in strategic attack the McCall is considering expected structure of the capital of the company.

While it remains uncertain as to whether or not it will put a special dividend - believe that some market observers could be as much as ￡ 325 m - a discussion on the position of capital of the company and its ability to generate cash for years, in the future is probably on Tuesday.

"A special dividend? it would be a surprise," said Andrew Fitchie, Investec aviation analyst. "I was more thinking that they pay a dividend in two years, based on where they are in terms of fleet order.?

The President believes Stelios told friends - as well as board easyJet - that it takes for the company to adopt a progressive dividend policy to mirror of Lufthansa.

The German airline pays between 25pc and 50pc of earnings per share, which, based on the benefit of the whole year ￡ 71 final.2 m would have delivered a dividend by as much as ￡ 35.5 m.

In addition, the contractor believes want the company to start using return on capital employed - rather than the performance of equity - as the target of the manner in which it uses its assets.

"Stelios, for one, think 10pc is on the right and wonders why this company can obtain its tax benefits up to ￡ 400 m," writes analyst Joe Gill of Bloxham on the percentage of return on capital employés.Mais McCall will also detailed Gill suggests rest to see, but to avoid any other bust ups with its largest shareholder - soiled the last part of the reign of his predecessor - it must meet at least half.

When easyJet has launched its maiden flight in Luton-Glasgow, the slogan "fly as affordable as a pair of jeans". McCall's task is to make as comfortable at the lowest possible cost for passengers and shareholders both.
