I am surprised that no-one has raised this
Monarch reasserts commitment to indy ops despite ditching Olympic - ttglive as yet.
250,000 seats is a massive number - I reckon it's the equivalent of four fully laden A300 flights every day throughout the summer season (and they have four A300s which don't work that hard). A little bit of 757 flying to Canada is not going to come close to making up that shortfall in activity across the whole fleet. Are the A300s about to disappear?
Monarch are making frequent statements that they are happy to deal with independent tour operators but their actions seem to totally contradict that. Every time they try to grow Cosmos, it ends up making huge losses and they re-trench shortly afterwards.
