Don't make sense
The crew need to be based in UK for the operation. LGW may be the best area for the crew to be and planned parking availability. Repatriation flights wouldn't be over in a day. Monarch Holidays covers a large network as i'm sure you are aware. The incoming QR crew will rest and be able to operate on the aircraft from Tuesday onwards as the aircraft continue to return to the UK. There are already some crews on hand rested to take out the aircraft ex-UK to wherever neccessary.
I'm still wishing the very best for Monarch and as ever it's great dedicated staff. However i wish shame on greybull and shame on the board of directors!
