Monarch Scheduled goes Low Cost?

It was announced today that apparently with effect from July all pax will have to pay for all meals and drinks on Monarch Scheduled flights.

Obviously things arent quite the 'happy ship' that certain insiders would have us all believe...

If this is true, then it really will be a shame and a worry. I have used the ZB's on many occassion as this is one of the elements that always kept Monarch ahead of the Low Costs! The worrying side is that we are only 7 days into the Summer season, and if things are that drastic that they need to try and save such minimal costs, then maybe things are worse than they seem?

What's going to keep passengers booking on what was once 'the jewel of their business' when EZY offer higher frequencies at the same price - surely not just allocated seating???

Has the 'crown' finally fallen off I wonder...
