What is a “a Capt in the IT business”?
“My IT pal said things were not as easy for these backers due to changes in EU law which made money laundering activities more difficult, not that I'm suggesting anything like that is going on here”
Well, if your “Capt in the IT business is correct”, then it looks like they have sorted out the money laundering in quite an easy way, nice wad of readies, must look like Harry Enfield and “loads-a-money” when the fuel turns up!
Out of interest BarbiesBoyfriend, how much have you placed with Paddy Powers on this one?

The Industry Bites Back?
I believe that the thoroughly distasteful Paddy Power bookmakers business requires a licence to conduct its activities in this country. Perhaps the time has come for our industry to bombard MP's with demands for their licence to be REVOKED. A libel suit filed by a wealthy person (such as a certain Swiss-Sicilian) would be helpful too. Perhaps this would encourage obnoxious bookmakers to behave with a measure of responsibility in future. Threaten their wallets ... they'll understand that.

'Capt' is short for Captain.
'IT' is short for Inclusive Tours
Re Paddy Powers. Nothing staked thankyou.
MANAGP. By 'paying Cash' he meant 'money now or no fuel'.
Surely not?
Like I hinted at earlier, got to be bollox, right?
edit to add that I know rumourmongering is punishable by death in wartime, but just remind me what the 'r' in pprune stands for, again?

Turkey
Now announced are the Turkey flights:
Luton - Bodrum 2pw
Luton - Dalaman 2pw

Mancester - Antalya 2pw
And increases on
Gatwick - Bodrum 2pw to 3pw
Gatwick - Dalaman 7 to 10
Manchester - Bodrum 1 to 2
Manchester - Dalaman 5 to 8
As has previously been stated, these may be at the expense of flights to Eurozone countries, especially Spain.

BHX
BHX has lost Murcia to make way for Dalaman.
Also Mahon seems to have lost one weekly rotation
and Palma but Arrecife, Fuerta and Las Palmas are
also increased to at least twice weekly.
Due to the longer sectors some re-timings are required
on a couple of days due to the one schedule aircraft
also operating IT's or night Ibiza.
At present BHX is still four based with 3 dedicated to
schedule and sometimes the 4th one as well.
Goldtrail were showing Monarch from BHX which would
require a 5th based but this is not confirmed as yet.

Your posts will never be taken seriously again!

Just a Rumour, but...............
A friend of mine, a Capt in the IT business, told me Monarch are paying for fuel with cash.
Must admit I was surprised to hear this. Is it total bollox or is there even a grain of truth?
I always thought they were backed by very dodgy but wealthy backers.
My IT pal said things were not as easy for these backers due to changes in EU law which made money laundering activities more difficult, not that I'm suggesting anything like that is going on here!

Paddy Power whatever they are? are talking and making 'Estimations' in an Industry that they will never have any knowledge or maybe any 'Commercial' interest in so they should = STFU!
Why is a Bookmaker who runs sh*ty downtown betting shops compelled to make and create unfounded illinformed rumours?
Unless P Power (Being Irish) is a supporter in FR?
I Don't think MON/ZB has come all this way in it's lifetime to fail just because we are all 'Groomed' into thinking 'Everybody' is in a recession - That's completely wrong.
Some companies actually make more profit when there is a 'So called' recession.
(There wasn't a recession on Boxing Day when all the Nutmegs went shopping and spent record amounts)
There may be certain cutbacks in Aircraft & staff, But I should hope MON/ZB will be around for many years to come.
If not then the UK Airline Industry would be definately finished!!

If i had to put my house on a airline surviving the current climate it would be monarch, they must be one of the most cash rich airlines out there, plus there a first rate operator with a very loyal customer base

As I have just found out the hard way, just because the owner is cash rich, it doesn't mean he's gonna throw all his hard earned at a failing airline.....
(No suggestion here that MON are failing... Just making a point that rich owners does not guarantee survival!)
I hope it's Paddy Power getting things very wrong........

Monarch Airways
Talk Radio Europe today announced that a certain Dublin based bookmakes had lowered their odds of Monarch going into recievership to 4 to 1.
It is causing some concern amongst the ex pats in Spain.
Any views ?

Tiger Woods Specials Betting
Paddy Power are interested in publicising their site nothing more..............MON will probably be 50-1 next week.
Hence its why you get bets like who will Sponsor Tiger Woods next...........Pfizer at 12/1 or Playboy at 10/1.
As to their origins .............think some people need to get a grip, its pure business on their part.

Paddy Power have been laid to lose just £7,000 that Monarch are the next to go bust according to the Times. At 50-1, it would take just one bet of £140. Instead PP claims they have had 100 punters betting on Monarch, so an average stake of just £1.40 each.
What a load of tripe and mischief making and a thoroughly distasteful market to be running given the current climate. Still I guess some like to revel and profit from others misery. Glad I shut down my betting account with them some time ago
