It seems that there has been some consolidation going on, for example, I understand that Wamos operated into MAN yesterday, with pax that originally departed from BHX and LBA being bussed to their original starting point.
Fair comment but that does raise the question already asked; couldn't the CAA have paid the administrators to use Monarch aircraft and crew to do this more cheaply?
