I see that ZB have 3 MAN-TFS flights on 24/12,so am wondering what A/C will be operating the flights. One would assum A321 on the 0800, A300/330 on the 0930 and the A321 on the Afternoon one.

757 in general, is a hard aircraft to replace... 
The 757 has been the workhorse for MON over the years and the Airbus will be hard-pushed to beat it (not saying the Airbus isnt a performer), but Long or Short Haul, the 757 was there!
It should also be said that its the way the 757 was operated by MON, the crews handling and also the engineering staff and backup. A big thumbs up to MON
.
It has been commented by various aviation companies including BOEING that they are well-impressed with the MON 757 fleet and the fact that MON operate the highest time 757s anywhere - and they are still going strong, albeit begining to age slightly

Has anyone else heard of the rumours that are going around Cardiff regarding ZB flights for Summer 2009.
2 different stories so far :
1) ZB A321 to be based at CWL
2) ZB A321 doing upto 5-7 "W" patterns
Anyone got any feed back on this - be great if true as CWL would be better choice over BRS as at BRS you have both EZY & FR whilst at CWL just WW

DL93...Mon have only operated out of NCL if the charterer has asked for it so there is no throwing in the towel on Monarchs side only the charterer.
As for CWL...not a chance and certainly not on a W pattern...what a nightmare for crewing!! A BRS based unit would be the most likely as more catchment and better fares with or without EZY/RYR

The 757 is a superb aircraft with a great payload vs range capability.
There are plenty of airports where a 757 will operate with ease where a 737-800 will struggle in certain conditions.

Monarch will operate 1 weekly flight to SFB in S09 using A330 aircraft. It is chartered by Thomas Cook - though they have pulled their Caribbean programme which used to be operated by Monarch!
There was an interesting rumour flying around a few weeks ago that a base would open in NCL for MON, but not too convinced...?
