No, airlines going bust are not covered by CAA and the ATOL scheme.
Monarch was different because they sold holidays, and had an ATOL bond - as does Jet2 Holidays for instance, who have just upped theirs by 30%. (flight onlys are not protected and if you buy hotel and flight from different suppliers you may not covered)
Most MON/OM pax were repatriated for about 2 weeks on CAA flights, but some flight only pax had to claim from their banks (if paid by cards) and/or their travel insurance and make their own way home.
