the virtual jizzing over some new titles is making this thread rather tedious.
anyone got any opinions on how the airline is actually doing?
Renort - my thoughts exactly. Seem's to be nothing but 'spotters corner' regarding decal changes these days and nothing on what's actually happening in the Airline.

Any chance these 'ooh the engine cowl isn't fully painted' type posts can be binned off into the Spotters area?
Would you like me to create a Spotters Forum called 'Monarch New Livery' maybe we can post future messages there i do agree it is a little bit spotty

Feel free. No offence but its not even a new livery, just a bunch of bigger stickers. If ever there was an airline metaphor for papering over cracks, this is it.

Can anyone give me a brief summary of who Monarch's main competitors are at their bases - in particular Manchester and Gatwick?

Sorry topspotter, just thought with the knowledge some of you guys have on here, it might take someone 30 seconds to answer a question that would take me an hour to research.

If that's not how these forums work, then I'm sorry I asked.

Leybht

The main competitors at Manchester are Easyjet, Jet2 and now Ryanair.
At Gatwick it is mainly Easyjet and BA.
Birmingham is Ryanair.

Good luck!

I think there are some cool people who will help you out. You have to take the negative whiners who will get all pissy and attack you for no reason when they could just skip past your 1 little post but overall you will get your answer as above^.

Monarch's New Window Blinds

Are Monarch window blinds on every window or just on every other one??

NCL

This is my first post so apologies if this shouldn't be in here.

I'm due to start with monarch next year in Birmingham however i've heard from a couple of friends that Monarch are to base 2 aircraft at NCL for the coming summer and operate on behalf of Thomas Cook.

Anyone in the know have any idea if theres any truth in that??

If it was true would Monarch use their own Cabin Crew or would Thomas Cook use their own crew like they did last year when they had Astreaus and Mint airways??

Only asking because NCL would be a lot easier for me to be based at in that I wouldnt have to move down to BHX!

Thanks folks!

If a/c are based in NCL for next summer they will only be using Monarch crew.
However l would contact who you have had dealings with so far and point out that if they require crew in NCL it would be better for you.
They may be very accommodating, unless they are going to be using crew from other bases to operate NCL flights.

A330 is doing some work from NCL next summer and you will be at the end of a very long queue to fly that beast. I'd be surprised if any A320/1 worked from NCL but stranger things have happened. I understand that the summer programme is not yet 'firmed up' so it might be worth emailing the CP letting him know that you would volunteer for NCL if available. As a betting man I'd say that you should be looking for some accommodation in Brum.

See you next year!

NCL

last year the flightdeck with from the airlines (mint and AEU) but i believe most of the cabincrew were TCX staff.
Maybe the head person was from the airline.

If MON have got 2 Aircraft at NCL well done to them...
was talk of 2 x 757's but i dont think MON will have 2 spare 757's for this unless they change a few things around.

NCL was one of the three bases mentioned earlier this year for setting up as regional, BRS was another, any news on this, or has CWL managed to bag Monarch as they are doing a series of L/H Florida throughout the season

NCL is not going to be a base. Maybe the odd charter but crewed from other bases. The only summer base seems to be EDI again.

The reason for TCX supplying crews for the two B757 last year at NCL, was the a/c were leased to TCX.
If Monarch were to operate two a/c out of NCL and that is a very big "IF", it would unlikely to be a lease, but a series of flights as it used to be previously for TCX out of EDI .
