Not sure that it's a case of "losing" the contract. Why give one of your aircraft at the time when they can make the most money for yourself i.e. Fri/Sat/Sun to one of your competitors so they can make a margin on top of your lease price?
Makes no economic sense whatsoever unless the 3rd party is prepared to offer over the odds to cover the less lucrative Mon-Thu flying.

, so why put an aircraft in EDI S12 for "the competition" then?

Egon, try and follow, there's a good chap. The EDI unit is there all week i.e.7 days not just the weekend. That's a sensible use for a leased aircraft and doesn't leave the airline with the poorest days of the week to try and sell in-house.
Chidken...standby unit for a competitor? Please enlighten us....

I'm following just fine.
Do we charge our ZB punters 'well over the odds' Mon-Thu in order to get the (supposed) cream Fri-Sun, you of all people should know the answer to that.

Or,
Monarch appeared to give the impresion that they were going to announce some new routes from MAN for summer 2012 by end of Oct. It seems to have gone very quiet, are these plans still likely to happen? Please can anyone at Monarch thrown any light on if or when this is likley to happen. Thanks, DomyDom

Read a flightcheck book for MAN today and apparently Faro is being cut down from around 10 flights per week (Not sure what exact is) to just 1 on a Sunday, and apparently PMI is becoming seasonal again. Thats what the book said anyway
