It's the usual story, isn't it.
Monarch find it's more convenient (= cheaper) to sub to an airline from some indeterminate base that many pax can't even spell.
Pax see Monarch's marketing material about their standards.
Pax book on the Monarch website.
Pax pay Monarch.
Pax check in at the Monarch desk.
Pax see it has a Monarch flight number.
Seems a bit ropey inside apparently, but whatever.
On arrival goes into the mud.
"This Monarch-booked flight ON AN AURELA AIRCRAFT NOT ONE OF OURS has gone into the mud with an AURELA CREW NOT ONE OF OUR CREWS and it's AURELA NOT MONARCH and IT'S A LITHUANIAN REG NOT ONE OF OURS and......"
PS - How many times over the years have Monarch themselves gone into the mud ? Maybe they can tell us.
