The CAAs job shouldnot be to make a point. Millions should not be wasted to make a point. It's vital money that should be spent wisely. As a country we are lucky to have the protection and therefore every effort should be made to protect the money in the pot.
I have everything crossed for Monarch. However we had the Sunday night saga and today there seem to be aircraft joining those already on standby. Did any of the charters go back after being stood down or am I correct in thinking that most are still in Europe and have been joined by English airlines today?
Reluctantly, I think we should all be prepared for the worst.
