I know this is stating the obvious, but just got to get it off my chest. Where in our democracy is the right of reply? As stated earlier in the thread, Monarch have come out well, but how does Joe PAX find this out? Picture the scenario.. nervous PAX, just booked his family holiday with aforesaid airline. Reads newspaper, knee jerk reaction, changes airline or cancels holiday. Despite my interest in Aviation, I am not the worlds most relaxed passenger and flew last year on MONX to ALC and back (uneventfully). If I had read the article prior to travelling, it would merely have heightened my nervousness and tension - knowing the full story as detailed in this forum would have had a reverse effect - but when will we see a statement in the Sunday Times from Monarch stating their defence? Its not fair.
