Work in LTN and have done so for many years and the internet does work here FACT
FA doing well contrary to those who have left would have u believe, I see the management accounts (hence the 250 hours and improved margin FACT), the fact of the matter is those who sold before clearly did so without knowledge of market rates.
Clearly for those who have left, to be bitter enough to write such drivel, one has to assume the grass is looking a bit browner than originally assumed over the other side of the fence.
I have never felt the need to post before as have been quite happy browsing, but what has been said on this board is to try to distable a very happy ship. If you and your colleagues monde want to keep this thread going do so,feel free, but it merely shows immaturity and I will not bother posting any more as it obviously is used for your childish giggles at the replies.
We´re quite happy here, get on with it, you´ve made your beds now lie in them.
Monarch continues to flourish and judging from your posts is MUCH better off without you.

Hi
Does anyone know if Monarch plan to operate the East midlands to amritsar schedules this summer and what aircraft type theyll be? This winter started as 1x 757 weekly then went to 2x 757 weekly and then last month to 1x A300 weekly through aircraft upgrade and did away with the 2nd weekly service.

Back to Cargo’s question, can someone enlighten those of us who don’t work for Monarch: What department(s) have been moved from LTN to Crawley? 
Is the airline now split with the Monarch Scheduled commercial dept (and all the rest of the airline?) in Prospect House at LTN and just the chater/adhoc commercial dept now in Crawley? If so, why would they do this?
Whoever answers first can write FACT after their answer as a reward.

Interesting reply there NC - i will try not to use the word FACT in my reply as it sounds too much like David Brent for my liking and you know what a great and mature manager he was....
Your obvious committment and belief in the new regime are to be commended as a loyal employee ,but as a recently departed employee (six weeks) i would like to put you straight about a few things if i may be so bold.
If you think MON is a happy ship at the moment ,then you are as diluded as the accountant who reckons that the winters ad-hoc flying (250 hrs less)has made more contribution than last year - who did they use to work for - Airtours/ Shell / Enron and while they're there ,can they help me sort out my end of year tax codes too??.
Staff morale (any) is a thing of the past ,whilst PB has imposed such huge cuts that it is now to the detriment of the product and the staff. Most of them would leave tomorrow if they could ,but are tied to LTN in some way or are simply hanging on for their pension, such is the depth of their plight . If you don't believe me ,register for the MON forum (i can't anymore),and see what the employees really think about what's happening to the company - they clearly don't believe it "continues to flourish", far from it ,and there's a lot of people questioning the way the company's going and being run. Look at the amount of people who can see thru all your salesman blags questioning the whole First thing - why when every airline in the UK are vertically integrating do MON create a divide within?? How about putting a poll on there asking what the troops really think about your beloved First Aviation ,compared to the old sales force ??- your eyes will not like the results i can tell you.
I'm not suggesting things were perfect before, but to lose the best (although you reckon incompetant!!)staff to the opposition and then lose loads of work in the same direction - without anything substantial coming back in return , beggars belief to most employees.
My comments about the commercial move were first made over six months ago and were not at all meant to "distable" anything (thought this place was west of LTN on the A505!!) but to simply let people know my grave concerns at the way things had been (badly)handled and the future implications for the company. I therefore took Mac's great advice of a few years ago - "if you don't like it " etc , - i didn't ,so i did.!!
The staff at MON are great people - the company's biggest asset, and the aircrew , i can't find words to describe what great professionals and people they ALL are . They deserve better from their superiors but under the whole new management regime i'm not sure they're gonna get it..
Right, i'm off to enjoy myself some more in Crawley , however my log fires running low and i think i know where i can find some "dead-wood". !!

I am somewhat surprised about some of these comments about Monarch. It does not seem to me to matter where their commercial departmnet is based. It is surely what they do that matters.
In respect of their scheduled services, these have grown rapidly over the past couple of years. I am a regular user on their Malaga route. I can assure anyone who reads this that their service levels are higher than those on BA. Their prices are very competitive and judging by the loads that I have seen the service is very popular. Incidentally their Internet site is excellent. I find it to be the easiest to use of any airline. Their phone service is also excellent.
On top of all that they have had a reputation for 36 yeras now of being a very competent operator.
I wish them very good luck and I hope to see further expansion of their services between Gatwick and Malaga. The market is certainly there.

I haven't seen the EDI programme but your times could be linked to the a/c operating a W pattern. i.e. your return flight inbound to EDI will be after the a/c returnsfrom AGP to say GLA and then operates back to AGP to operate your return service to EDI. Just a guess.
