Or, maybe better, that Monarch pay their staff appropriately. I have heard all the arguments over the years - "company cant afford it", "we are in difficult times", "we allhave to make sacrifices" etc, its funny how it is always the little person who has to make those sacrifices and the bosses still walk away with double digit pay rise.
