Ezy is indeed a very successful company but passenger figures as a comparative measure of success is just not credible. Also; "Past performance doesn't not guarantee future performance" or whatever the investment industry caveat emptor states. This is true of Monarch, and everyone else, too.
To those that join Monarch - welcome and I look forward to flying with you.
For those who have thrown their lot in with Ezy - I wish you all the best too...even the self righteous ones.
