Not as good as previous years but better than nothing.
At its height this last winter Geneva was ten a week and it is currently
released from 15/12/12 at just six weekly. No Tuesday service and the
rest is as follows: -
Monday - Friday 12.15 arrival BHX and 12.45 departure.
Saturday in 15.10 out 15.40
Sunday in 11.20 out 11.50.
Grenoble is also reduced from 2 a week to weekly
Saturday in 17.05 out 17.10
The Monday - Friday aircraft matches with the Luton schedule

I must admit I was half expecting EWR to drop to 5 weekly. Loads were not great this winter at times but on the positive side business was usually sold out although I realise that checking the seat map is hardly an exact science and you never know how many are upgrades and staff travel.
As for Manchester five weekly IAD is not bad and actually a net increase on United flights compared to the last two winters under Continental. The cut in Manchester - Newark last winter paid dividends on load factors, as there were very few empty seats.

I have not heard anything specific in respect of Monarch but some good loads in general but it is Easter. Post Easter until the end of May will be interesting as Monarch have already dropped FUE for that period and reduced other Canaries routes compared to the original schedule release.
