No on-line check in available for this flight.
You are only able to check in on-line at MAN & BHX and then only for scheduled flights.

I would not worry about the check in opening at midnight, that is the norm these days.
Most pax will not check in, until between 2 and 3 hours before the flight.

OK, so I missed the good news about the credit card sub. On to the next question for a first timer on Monarch ...

Food: Happy to buy on board but must one pre-order? What about the Vegetatian option? We are on a breakfast flight and the website has been helpful about telling me what I can expect to pay and what I get - but not about any action that would have to be taken in advance. IF there are no actions in advance, then I cannot see where they tell me that!

The food is not pre-bookable (in common with every other short-haul scheduled airline) and on their website where they tell you what is available (depending on the time of the flight departure) they point out the vegetarian options ( a green "V" for vegetarian )............

Any further news on which a/c Monarch will introduce as their interim aircraft? MD-11? More 767's or 330's?

Cheers,
eP.

Tangiers?

Today's Daily Telegraph reports that Monarch (and EasyJet) will be flying to Tangiers (Morocco) in 2007.

Nothing on the website yet.

Monarch Crews

Does anyone out there know whether Monarch have any female flight deck crew and if so how many or what proportion of the flight deck force they represent?

Looks like a very small number of female crew for an airline with nearly 30 aircraft. Has anyone asked the Equal Opportunities Commission to investigate?

I was told a while back (albeit maybe an unreliable source) that MON offered sponsorships to females who wished to become pilots not sure who true that is. Here at TOM I can only think of 3 female Captains and 5 F/Os. Shame really coz some of our best pilots are female!

You piss-takers dig your own graves don't you.

To my knowledge 'gullable' was never in there.

You're pretty gullible falling for that one.....

Just to clarify, Monarch is an equal opportunity employer, they don't however apply the PC fuzzy logic to candidates that other airlines/organisations do.
Crews are scored on ability, not race or sex

I think Monarch recently took on a couple more females. They also have quite a few non-whites, a lot more than the no. of females. I dunno whether there are many females that are applying for the positions.

Devil Female Pilots

Could the fact be that it is well known to all us males, that the typical female can not read a map to save there lives.
So maybe the problem is that most of the female applicants failed to turn up for the interviews because they simply got lost.
We all know how difficult it is to find Monarch's headquarters, Luton is very hard Airport to find without using all that high tech aircraft navigation equipment.
