This is a public forum. The opinions of induviduals whether good or bad are given often, regardless of the company in question.
Monarch has a nice touchy feely way about it but facts are facts. New pay scale is not good, pension is worse and the roster stability can be awful. Say what you want, the terms and conditions are poor compared to other outfits doing the same job. Monarch is not Easyjet or Ryan Air.
Those off to BA or VS are looking 30 years down the road and in my opinion it's the only way to go.
