Hi guys,
I know that Monarch Engineering are sort-after and do a great job on the Monarch fleet, so I'm guessing they're just facing a huge period of bad luck at the moment re the state of their A/C.
I know people have been complaining about Monarch's extensive delays this year, especially out of MAN.
I just traveled to Alicante and back yesterday to see friends and ZB682 in the morning due at 7.15 left at 9.48 due to a flight computer failure and a faulty smoke detector in the rear hold.
Furthermore the evening flight ZB676 to ALC was delayed nearly 2 hours as the refuelling point on the aircraft had a faulty seal and had to be totally replaced before it could fly.
I'm not moaning, I love a good delay, more time to mooch around the airport however I'm just wondering if engineering are slacking or if their A/C are all due checks soon?
Cheers
eJJ
P.S I know that A/C are pushed to their max during summer periods but 4 sectors a day to Spain and back isn't too taxing, surely.
