Originally planned to have an additional 321 but couldn't agree terms with lessor. Lesser of 2 evils was to lease in during the summer peak (as flights had been selling for over 9 months) and be one aircraft lighter during the winter.
Although they won't be cheap, the subs should at least cover cost during the summer and saves the cost of aircraft/crews for the additional unit during the winter.

monarch aircraft shortage
Why don't monarch lease another 757 for themselves cos after all they do have pilots who can fly the 757, i think that i might be a little bit cheaper than leasing off other airlines.

Are things so quiet at old Spotty that the thread is reduced to talking about strobes selection on bloody flight sim?

Okey dokey then. Do you think that Monarch will get anymore aircraft next year, i did hear a rumour that they were thinking of getting 2 of the Bmi 330s or maybe they could get some more 767s.

I dont think that bmi are looking to sell their A330s any time soon without having any replacements for the long haul flights that bmi operate. Why could Monarch get more B767's when they already have one which is leaving in April, surely not renew the lease if they wanted it so badly? So I doubt that Monarch will be getting any longer haul aircraft until the B787 arrives.

Tight Seat -
According to my contact... Is that the same 'great summer' that resulted in all staff being called in to be told that they were having an enforced 10% pay cut for the months Nov - Apr, with a 20% reduction in working hours and that any voluntary redundancies would be considered!.
Would hate to see what a 'bad summer' was then!
Are you Tim Jeans is disguise???

I have always considered Monarch to be a good barometer as to how the UK airline market is doing. If the pay cuts and reductions in working hours are true, this can only indicate that the market is going to be 'tight' this winter.
Only the the fittest will survive.
Good luck to all working directly and indirectly for Monarch, your airline will still be about long after others have failed.
