DC, It is apparent that there is now huge underswell of unity at Monarch - and as you rightly point out I feel the ball is firmly in our court...I have to say almost all the captains - young and old - are greatly annoyed at the huge turnover of junior pilots and the erosion of a once excellent reputation. And for what?? A penny pinching myopic policy which has clearly back fired and potentially stands to cost the Company far more than it has ever saved...
Monarch Man, although I fully appreciate that there are some senior guys on much better deals, a lot of those guys are fully aware of the problems and are just as disillusioned with the way management have been "managing" - I don't begrudge them the lower hours, higher pay and final salary pension scheme - to be honest i'm just jealous!! What I do want is their support and acknowledgment that others have a rather bad end of a
stick....
