If easy want or need pilots then Monarch pilots would stand a better chance than most to get offerred a job; not a command ahead of qualified, experienced, existing F/O's. That's the way it always has been with the majority of airlines, isn't this what seniority is all about? They should join at the bottom like everyone else - unless DEC's are what is required, because of a lack of appropriate experience or because the upgrade F/O's decline the base move, in which case they should join below the F/O's waiting and ready for slots and command courses. I've been there; had a command with one airline then joined another at the bottom and worked my way up. I really don't see why Monarch pilots should be given priority simply because their airline is in trouble. There are many other commercial pilots out there who have been struggling for years.
