Given that there seems to be clear evidence that the charters that started the rumour mill were booked by the CAA, I would have thought that some responsibility lies with them to clarify matters. If it was nothing to do with Monarch then they should say so and quickly; if it was, but the matter has been resolved, then they should say so jointly with Monarch. Saying nothing just drags the rumour mill on, to the potential detriment of thousands of customers and employees of Monarch.
