Life in Monarch is very good. You very rarelly hear from Management, the Salary is amongst the highest in the industry and the pension is also amongst the best. Have to agree with other replies about the hours, I've averaged 550hrs a year. Winters can be very quiet with only one or two flights a month for some bases/fleets. Also a good mix of long haul and short haul on most fleets and a wonderful bunch of cabin crew.
