After chatting to a senior captain yesterday, he said that after speaking with Tim Jeans it looks likely that it will be nearer spring 2015, due to further extensive delays at Boeing and workforce disruption! Their will be very heavy compensation charges paid to Mon from Boeing and with that extra cash they are looking to lease extra 330's in the meantime. The heavy compensation charges will offset some of the leasing charges (apparently)!!!

The 'So called' Dreamliner!! has already got a bad name, And it isn't even built yet!!
Sounds like MON will have a long wait for it's eventual appearance?
I know what (I) would say to Boeing!!Lol

Spring 2015
Well if Spring 2013 represented a 29 month delay (Monarch statement) then Spring 2015 represents a 53 month delay 
I understand that Boeing have been offering good deals with early delivery on factory built B763 aircraft to certain airlines who are going to be hit hardest by the delay in delivery of the B787. Late orders with priority delivery of the B787 from certain influential US airline(s) will further impact delivery to many smaller airlines I believe.

Does anyone know where the Monarch thread has gone to?? I've had a search for it.. but it has seemed to dissapeared??? Anyone??
Good question. When the first poster on a thread deletes his/her post the entire thread goes with it.
Assuming this was accidental we have restored the thread.
