'anyway they have got even a lot of problem with SAFA'
These airlines are paranoid about SAFA inspections, however the SAFA only scratches the surface and will not find the operational shortcomings.
It will be very interesting to see how detailed the Monarch audit of this operator was. I would want to know how many flights had been observed by Monarch check pilots, how many simulator training details did they observe. Did they have the flight safety department visit the offices and check the systems in place, that reports had been followed up etc
I would also question the tour operators who are using and even basing these type of aircraft in places like the UK. There is no way I would put my family or friends on one of these carriers. The relevent aviation authorities can't give proper oversight in their own back yards, let alone 700 miles away.
The problem is that they are operating in the same sky as all of us.
