Your right mad jock, monarch skippers up to year 13 are going to have a pay rise on the easy scale, that's basic without yearly loyalty bonus pay of 15% after that I think it's much of a likeness. The only t's and c's I can see which is better at MON is the pension which is double contributions. But I guess throw in the fact your not waiting over 10years for a command bumps up the overall package at easy. I think the only place to be in the UK (in terms of good employer and safe job) is easy or BA, and if you have the seniority TOM looks good.
Back to topic, I can't see easy buying MON, there just isn't the threat with a fleet of 30 aircraft to take the slots, after all easy just bought lots of LGW slots from flybe.
Sad to see what is happening to Monarch, it looked like a good employer and the fact were seeing so many airlines merging isn't great, I used to watching all the different charters etc flying in as a kid. Best of luck to the staff
