I think someone is adding up 2 & 2 and making 5.
The A330 arriving soon is the FSTA arriving for the MOD, Monarch Aircraft Engineering are assisting in getting the a/c a temporary G- registration.

It's finally official folks! The 787 by Monarch's shareholders has been cancelled. You can read more on the story on Travelmole A difficult decision but, after some consideration, probably the right one. The immediate focus is to concentrate on short haul fleet renewal and expansion of the fleet into new UK bases and to new destinations not previously flown by Monarch. Details of these have not yet been revealed. Monarch say that in the medium term their longhaul strategy will be strengthened against the background of a fully developed short haul offering.

I wonder what will happen to the A300’s now as they have already been kept longer than originally planned due to the 787 delays. With the 757’s also going as I should imagine they’re looking for something with larger capacity? Perhaps they could swap the 787’s for 767’s which they could get pretty quickly. Or perhaps go with the 737-8/9/NG or A321NEO. I guess it all depends on how fast they need/intend to replace their fleet.

Rubbish! We've long expected this and if no 787 is what's right for the bussiness then that's all that really matters.
Pilots are 'disgusted' by change of heart

A321, no I hadn't. My post was moved here from R&N. The news was only a couple of hours old on the Flight website and I could find no reference on R&N, hence my post.
A shame for Monarch, but probably the right call. We in TCX are losing 3 A330's off lease and a 767 is going to Condor for a while. Long haul is getting hit hard by the high APD charges. Pity the government is still at war with aviation, perhaps we can all work in the windmill factories instead...

We keep having this rumour about Monarch and BMI/ BMIbaby.
But the 2 models are totally different Monarch on the leisure side and BMI on the Business.
I would be surprised if Monarch was venturing into a business which they don't know.

Monarch cancels Dreamliner Order
Monarch cancels Dreamliner order
The Monarch Group has told staff that it has cancelled orders for six Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
It said the decision was due to deliveries being delayed from 2010 and the airline's "strategic decision" to focus as a schedule airline on strengthening and developing its shorthaul network.
It said this change of focus, announced in June, had been supported in 2011 by the introduction of new scheduled services to Cyprus (Paphos), Turkey (Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman), Greece (Corfu), Spain (Barcelona) and Egypt (Sharm el Sheikh).
"Monarch Airlines will see further expansion into new UK bases and new routes from 2012, whilst remaining dedicated to supporting its long standing tour operator partner needs," it said in a statement.
"Further consideration will be given to developing and strengthening its longhaul options in the future."
The move has angered pilots at the airline. One pilot, who asked to remain anonymous, told us: "We are all disgusted."

I think the 'one' pilot quoted was obviously just a but pissed off that day, as this was hardly unexpected news within MON. So for him to comment for 'all,' is somewhat misjudged at best.

Make that 4 A330s going and 1 B767.
So you can now see that two companies think that long haul at this moment in time, is not a money maker.
Some of the flying on the A330 that MON previous did, was for Thomas Cook.
