Gentlemen, we are all suffering from the "Curse of the ????" and his master.Unfortunately Wallace and Grommet are not performing as well as our expensive union dues demand so "we are all doomed "to quote another fictional character. Just because someone does not post on the Monarch private thread should be no reason to dismiss them!I believe some of the posters have some very valid points and as this has been done on a public forum it will deter all apart from the most desperate from joining when the exodus really gets going in the near future.The only point i would disagree with is that the old stagers such as myself will be outnumbered as with the current departure of so many junior pilots it will be only people who cannot afford to leave that are left in the ruins of a once great happy company.
