Regarding Monarch fleet planning. They made a brave and wise choice cancelling the 787. You only have to look at the UK longhaul market, and deduce that its taking a hammering at the moment. Longhaul APD to increase above inflation rate will only add to the misery. As a potential Monarch 787 driver, I was sad to see the cancelation, but what choice did they have. The leasing cost of such a brand new aeroplane will be out of this world. So flogging them to Tenerife and back won't cut it.
