Easyjet jack, Monarch engineers looked after our A330,s for some years and they never failed to impress us with their can do attitude and highly professional approach, i would say there are among the industries best so what ever problems Monarch may be having, if any, i doubt very much if its due to those guys ""slacking off".
Its a pity you could not spend a few shifts working alongside the line engineeers it just might make you appreciate just how demading a task it is keeping a mixed fleet of in some case pretty ancient aircraft servicable
