Yes the pay has changed but what airline hasn't ? At least it's still pretty good for the work involved
Yes they screwed some guys pensions but they are getting a cheeky backhand of 10s of thousands a year apparently (all gone very quiet anyway )
I believe you left Monarch for BA SH ? Maybe you should have stayed and got a command ?
I have a young family and would choose Monarch every day over BA
Snapper5 if you are referring to Oct 2014- Jan 2015 many people jumped ship voluntarily (my self included) and by voluntarily I mean i along with many others were in the 140+ at risk of losing there job and couldn't have got by on the forced part-time. If all those that left to BA / EK / EASY / Air Tanker hadn't there would have without doubt been forced redundancies. Those people that sought alternative employment saved other peoples jobs at Monarch.
