You have beaten me to it, Flying Wild!
In emails to staff and customers Monarch kept saying that it was business as usual. Yet a few hours later we all got the email informing us that the company had gone into administration.
It speaks volumes in itself that a company is forced to put out press releases to inform the public that it is business as normal.
Fingers crossed for the TC staff. Some of my ex colleagues may find themselves in exactly the same position on the same date but two years later?
