Gee there are a few obnoxious s***s on this thread. We are talking here about the livelihoods of some 2,500 people here directly employed by Monarch and not counting on the many thousands of people across the UK and continental Europe who would be directly involved with its demise. Some seem to relish on others misfortunes, let me tell you I was made redundant four times in my working life and it is not nice. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but can we have some serious opinions without some of you wishing that the company fails. Shame on you.
