Have Monarch cancelled their 787 order??
I have just been doing a bit of detective work and could be completely wrong but have Monarch cancelled their 787 order??
Found this article about 6 787's being cancelled by an undisclosed customer:-
Six 787s cancelled from order backlog
and the looked up all the orders on Wikipedia and Monarch are the only airline which have ordered exactly six.
List of Boeing 787 orders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What do you guys reckon??

I know that every customer has a big delay, I just singled monarch out because we are discussing about them, personally I think monarch should just focus more on it's short haul as it is much more popular . Although there isn't much competition on long haul . I don't think it will be popular in terms of comfort

788 config
The Boeing site gives the 788 configuration as 210-250 but is this 250 the maximum it is certified for or will there be some some leeway for non-scheduled operations (MON/TOM) to increase the capacity?
The 789 shows 290 seats but nothing as far as I can see over 300.
I assume once the first aircraft is delivered (26/09/2011) to ANA and
deliveries start to roll we will get a better ideal of when the first Monarch one will be due?
I trust Monarch know exactly what their config will be but this information
will be saved for a later day.
On a separate matter Avro have released new Monarch services from BHX next summer to Preveza, Chania and Kefalonia with Sundays now needing five based aircraft at BHX, assuming no schedule flights are chopped. Is there more coming from ZB in respect of routes and could this be a current Dublin based aircraft moving to the UK?

Tartin - the 787's will be the replacement a/c for all that huge amounts of long haul flying that you are currently doing .... exactly!
It's another 767 Nordstress job if you ask me.

TartinTon, Well Monarch has already said that the config. will be “relatively high density” .They said economy will have a 33inch seat pitch but did not say what premium was. But Monarch say they will compete with BA on long-haul routes but they are mainly aimed for north america and there products will be better than BA. Shame you would see this happen in about three years!
