Hi All, first post after months of reading and enjoying all the comments on here.
I personally hope that they do stick with Airbus. However I know that both Airbus & Boeing make great planes and competition is good for airlines, environment, passengers etc.
I was watching the final MON flight on airteamimages a few weeks back and on the video, the director of performance was saying that they now had to re-certify all of the A300 captains onto the A320/1 fleet. And also that as on end of summer 14 Monarch would be an all Airbus fleet, which makes crew scheduling easier, and helos with cost base.
I understand that there is some cost in this, what other costs will be involved in the change from Airbus to Boeing?
