Guys feel free to correct if I'm wrong, I'm just a trolley pusher but if an a/c weighs x amount of tons less cause of seat reduction then surely it will burn less fuel on t/o and climb. So even though they can only put so much fuel in it, the fuel will last longer and increase the range???

Whether it increases range or not (which I'm sure it would) that's just a bonus. The whole point of the refit is to make the onboard experience nicer for the paxs and make the toilets last longer.

I personally think that with the weight reductions made by the refit that the east coast of america is within range but i dont see MON using the 300 for ZB U.S. flights. I think we'll be seeing that when the 787s come.
There is obviously a plan for them to do different work but we wont hear about it for months.

I've heard nothing from anyone in "the know", i personally think that the 361Y config on the bucket & spade routes is fine and appeals to charters etc so why reduce that down to 280-300 pax for those routes just because the 787s are late. That gives you over 60 pax you aren't getting money from. Unless they are changing business models or planning different types of flying. Just my opinion. What does everyone else think?

Used to be a Monarch Engineer based in Bangor in the early ninetees, regularly most days had all 4 A300's on the ground at the same time chaos in the terminal.
