Rumoured Easyjet buying Monarch...
Heard a rumour the other day (hence its on here) that Easyjet are looking into taking over the scheduled side from Monarch...
Anyone know or heard any more about this?
Now that would be a 'Disaster' for the UK's Heritage
Monarch are just about the only Traditional Independant UK Airline left.
Do you really think the MON Board would dissapear and change the airline into 'Orange'
I often have worrying thoughts of there only being 5 scheduled Airlines left in the UK.
1 BA
2 BD
3 EZY
4 FR
5 VS
And 10 years later maybe less than that???
I agree with 757 Driver and the others, Cost is not everything, Quality is often better than Quantity.
And remember, EZY & FR are not everyone's 'cup of tea' just because they are doing well, It doesn't make it 'mandatory' for everyone to take part.
I think some people are getting too 'obsessed' by EZY & FR and are forgetting about our other Airlines that have served this country well before EZY & FR were even born..
Okay, Give EZY & FR a base at MAN, but after 2 years we will all be sick of the sight of them both.
Like LTN, all it is now is orange, And little else.
You go out and find me an Airline with a 'better' track and service record than Monarch....
And for Monarch to finish - that would be a nail in Britain's coffin.
