I would guess the flybe guys success is more a result of the high standards and quality of training that flybe guys possess, rather than which aircraft they fly.

I am rated and experienced and have been in the interview hold pool for over 2 years! I was hopeful earlier this year when I heard that they were going to be badly short this summer due so many crew leaving! I have a couple of mates there so was quite hopeful but since then it's become apparent that the shortfall is being covered by Oxford cadets! In fact a few weeks ago I bumped into 2 such lucky cadets at CAE Fleming Way. They were doing a 320 rating!
Anyway, I managed to secure a job with another UK Airbus airline to start in a few weeks so I've now given up with Monarch.
Good luck to all.

What's the difference to being on Airport Standby and minimum days off at Monarch under CAP371 - Can you enlighten us please?
Wait till they've tried a summer EASA roster with airport standbys and minimum days off.

Not full blown EASA Regs though. Still got scheduling agreement and day off definition retained as well of course as the protections the UK Working Time Directive brings.
Mind you, even then EASA FTLs are scary enough.

I assume the treat is better than zero days off had Monarch failed in the winter. If I was in your position I'd be more worried about the grim reaper coming again.....
Twiglet, you know nothing about my position so please don't make foolish assumptions.

My humble apologies to all. I wish MON nothing but the best my line of questioning was down to my personal experiences of airline unemployment and at that time I didn't care what I did as long as I was paid.
