I'm no economist but reading MON last financial report, they wrote off all loses associated with the airbus-boeing fleet change in their last set of accounts - at least thats what they said they did (like I said, I'm no accountant and can make head nor tail of most company accounts). Maybe an early disposal is on the cards as you mentioned? logistics/changing crew onto Boeing would be the issue. I don't see how they could change fleet any quicker than they already are
