As a fellow ex Monarch pilot I would like to offer my support to the entire workforce, and in particular the lads/ladies who are looking at another 30 years of flying in front of them. Monarch is a great company with a long and proud history but the management are taking the pi$$. Look around the industry at similar pay deals to your peers and make up your mind. Virgin, BA, Easy, Brits, BM etc. etc. have seen considerable raises in pay while the likes of Monarch have slipped off edge.
The key to success is UNITY and use the full brunt of BALPA to force the company to see the light. You ‘I’m all right jacks’ better get involved as well because no matter what you think, they will be after you at some point. To think otherwise would be playing the fool. Support one another and you will not lose. Time to make a stand. If I was still in the company you can bet I would be banging the drum, and loud.
Best of luck!
