Just had my annual exposure to the Monarch product for a spot of Easter sun (300-600 LGW-ALC) and it was a pleasure as ever (all things being relative). Great to have a widebody and great to see the MON cabin staff in fine form in the teeth of myriad provocations. And an LGW check-in so fast I thought I'd gone to the wrong airport.
(Do any ALC flights EVER arrive or leave on time?)
As a regular scanner of the MORs, I would confirm the enormous inconsistency in reporting - although I've never analysed whether it's a carrrier-specific thing. Always a mad mix of the fantastically trivial (which surely can't be mandatory), the run of the mill, and the mildly alarming.
