Am amazed that a Company like Monarch could have a Ratner moment like this.
If I had booked Monarch (an airline which I hold in high esteem) and a Lithuanian aircraft turned up I would not be at all impressed. I gather this isn't just an ad hoc sub charter due an a/c outage but a planned used of another operator.
When will these Companies understand that if you leave operational decisions to accountants based purely on the bottom line they surely will end up in the mud or even worse?
