"I think it's fair to say the Naysayers are going to end up with egg on their face."
I hope we do - there seems to be an idea that people WANT Monarch to go bust - we don't - why would we?
But I've seen a load of airlines go bust in my time and every one claimed they were in fine shape until the moment they (or the CAA) announced they were dead. It's just being realistic TBH
