When Bath Travel operated a New York flight from Exeter a few times it was a 757 and Thomson used a 767 from Bournemouth but such was the demand they came to Monarch to operate a larger aircraft as the flights have always been a sell out with a waiting list ! so hopefully it will be the A300 again

I take it you have a grudge against Monarch, your 4 posts all seem slightly negative!!

May I propose that you either expand or retract your comments. You portray yourself as somewhat nonsensical at present.

Thanks.

renort ,Is it yours?

If you post such bold statements, back'em'up. Otherwise it can never be a discussion, just a rant.

Flying the flag!

Away from the airport Monarch have had an impressive presence in BHX this summer; flags listing their destinations are flying from lamposts on most major roads leading into the city, also a city-centre 'beach' which has proved very popular as a promotional aid.

Do Monarch have a similar profile in their other airport locations or is this special to BHX? Can anything else be read into this?

malaga-birmingham

Diverted to Luton, but I do not know the reason, guess it could be a technical diversion.

Monty Gordo...nothing more than a marketing opportunity. I think BMI sponsored the beach last year.

Not sure where you get your info from colegate...minimum of a daily service available to book on their website and they only have a double daily at best most of the time

hahahahahaha,

Good God, you get some ill-informed numpties on here!!

'Dynamic Programme Management’ is hampered by their bizarre and frankly inexplicable commercial agendas.
Well if you don't understand it, and evidently have no knowledge of what is going on, then don't comment on it!

Have ZB massively cut back on Summer 2010 schedule.

Destinations such as ALC AGP FAO from MAN and LGW originally had two flights on most days. The timetable is now showing only one. Other destinations are also affected

The fact those A300 -600,s achieve the dispatch reliabilty they do is tribute to the monarch engineers, they do an amazing job keeping those things in the air

What a load of tosh!......There are plenty of airliners in the air of a similar vintage and I can assure you they don't get "special treatment"! (BA's early 747-400's and some of the TOM ex FCA 757/767's spring to mind)

Any airliner correctly maintained will keep flying. Sure, the C & D checks get progresivily heavier but if an operator decides to keep an aircraft in the air it doesn't require miracles!

Your right about monarch engineers smudge as someone employed in aviation personnel recruitment i can tell you they have a second to none reputation in the business for excellence, if anyone can keep those old 300-600,s flying they can

Heard the other day monarch are actually increasing flights from man/lgw next year, hope so, i use them from lgw a great deal

Hmmmm.....based on this interesting line of thought, Jet2 engineers must be even more super-human than Monarch!!

Some of their 737-300's date from 1986!!

Given the dreadful state of their aircraft boeing eng i dont think super human feats are performed very often in jet 2 land, perhaps they should consider letting monarch carry out their line maintainence they just might be able to sort out those awfull 757,s whos cabins actually do fall apart around you as you travel
