Exactly the point ,when a aircraft or anything else for that matter gets to twenty years old the condition it is in is down in the main to the quality of care it has received through its life, the fact monarchs old A300,s continue to give good service is a testament to the high quality of maintenance they have received through the years from monarch engineers.
I do appear to have touched a nerve with my praise for the quality of monarch staff , however believe me i have no axe to grind, im employed by a recruitment consultancy and my views only reflect the high regard the industry in general has for monarch technical staff
