As an ex bmi pilot I empathise fully with the Monarch crews, and wish them the best. It is hard to not think about this when flying in the "office".
I played over in my mind all the possible outcomes for bmi, and am sure you will all be doing the same.
We found out our fate at bmi via social media and the press before management told us, and I expect Monarch to do the same.
All that I can offer is that despite not knowing what is happening, or will happen, there will be other jobs out there for the right people in other airlines, and to remain positive.
Lets hope Monarch is saved in the 11th hour. MOL predicted years ago that there would be 5 major UK airlines left. After the demise of bmi, XL, flighline etc I am worried he may be right...
Fingers crossed.
ps- I did my stint in the sandpit after bmi, and have finally returned to europe after 4 years- so I empathise with any drivers and families that this may affect.
