Well this has gone off on a bit of a one-track diversion.
All this Orange rubbish would suggest that Easy is somehow the only option.
Anyhow, best of luck to those under the hammer, particularly those with most of their careers invested in Monarch. Hopefully you can find positions which at least take care of your families needs.
Not ideal, but Airbus captains are sorely needed in China. An unappealing option for most, and a non-starter for some, but they pay very well, and will at least keep you fed and dry for a few years, and provide a good savings buffer to complement your retirement/kids university/alimony. Don't be too proud to rule it out, if you have family depending on you.
Cheers.
