LNIDA, you're obviously looking at a different PPJN Monarch page to the one I've just checked then, which still shows the 2013 pay scales. There will be no above RPI rise for pilots this year no matter what PPJN might say. You obviously have no idea about how this airline makes its money - the airline itself doesn't necessarily have to buy the jets!
Winerhofer, because he has done so for the past 46 years and the jets all have his initial on their tails.
