Exactly what the Mantegazza's and Greybull conspired to do their employees in August 2014.
Ask your Captain (who has been there for twenty+ years) about his DB pension and loss of all the increments he had earned due long service and loyalty.
They are taking a hit that is in the hundreds of thousands of pounds - just like the British Midland pensioners.
Greybull had an airline that had nearly 50 aircraft but were only interested in an airline with 32 aircraft.
There is a degree of paranoia displayed by a couple of posters on here that indicate that their fellow pilots, in other airlines, wish they would fail. Absolute nonsense.
I hope to god that Monarch survive - I genuinely do - but some of the comments on here are best described as delusional.
I left fairly recently and don't regret it. I have seen too many of my friends wake up in the morning and find that they have lost their job. I will do everything within my power to stop that happening to myself.
I still can't work out the logic of doing a switch from Airbus to Boeing at such a critical stage in the airline's recovery. Airbus are still scratching their heads.
Best of luck.
