It's awful. I think it's deliberate mismanagement. I only hope that someone buys them and absorbs them. Yes it would be sad to see the brand go, but I can't help but worry about the employees. There's a lot of talent at MON who deserve a lot better.
Although the planes still have Monarch written on the side - the actually company today is not the same as what it was and the people I know that are there are somewhat less pro Monarch than they were five years ago.
I'm certain that we will hear soon. I don't see anyone in the CAA missing out on an early Friday afternoon flyer. Yes the deadline is midnight - but I don't for one minute think we will have to wait until then.
