Wind your neck in a bit or read the thread more carefully. I make no comparison whatsoever between Dalrymple and Mantegazza.

My point was simply to use GSM as an example of the statement by Luvvly Jubbly that having a rich owner is no guarantee of a companys survival.

This is not meant in any respect to reflect negatively on Monarch Airlines.

End of quote

Obviously PP's ignorance knows no bounds.

Here's to all employees of ZB and WW for 2010 and the least said about PP the better.

The idea of making money out of the misfortune, actual or potential, of others, is reprehensible and despiccable.

I an not a gambling man, never have been, I've seen the misery it causes, but if I were I would boycott Paddy Power. I hope those responsible for running this 'book' end up on skid row.

And my best wishes to Monarch's employees, past and present, a great airline with which I've had the pleasure of many flights. Long may you continue to be one of the finest airlines in the skies!

Errr isn't that exactly what the whole gambling industry is about ?

And bringing it back on Topic don't airlines charge a lot for last minute fares for people who rush home to see loved one before they die................... I just find it funny that people are giving huge publicity to a gambling site where less than £1000 will be bet on this whole topic.

I think a certain PP owner might be waking up with a horses head in his bed

Have monarch picked some MOD work up? i was at brize the other day and saw one of their aircraft on the ramp, if so is it some of the work that globespam were doing until their sad demise, i would have thought from a MOD point of view a reliable highly professional outfit like monarch would be ideal for trooping work, globespam must have been a nightmare to deal with.

MoD Work

They have been doing work for the MoD since they started operations in 1968 with two Britannias so not that surprised to hear of one of there aircraft at Brize. Cheers

Those people playing the 'Billionaire' defence will do well to remember (or find out if you don't know) what SM told the board last year

Monarch airlines/engineering have provided a steady year in year out profit to the family for the last four decades, theres no way on earth there going to pull the plug just because the whole industry is going through a bad patch at present they didnt become on of the worlds richest families by making daft knee jerk decisions to short term problems, ive no doubt monarch are one of the safest airlines in the UK, despite what a certain bookie thinks

bankruptcies

If I was to bet on the next airline to go bankrupt, which I wouldn't as I find the whole betting on airline bankruptcies a bit sick, Monarch are one of the last airlines I would put my money on.

Monarch 767

Did Monarch not fancy taking one of the ex Globespan 767s on lease as replacement for the DIMB and have they got anymore plans for more aircraft coming.
