Re: Monarch Delay
Think one went tech downroute at Kittila the day before, incurring an overnight stop and 24hr delay on the inbound.

Im sure if the right deal is on offer they will go for them as they did the recent purchases of the ex easy jet 321,s which rumour has it they got for a steal in the end, there certainly a very canny outfit with a hell lot of cash behind them

Positioned out to BGI the other day with BMI and spoke to one of their crew members and they mentioned to me that they were stopping all longhaul... they would only continue Medium Haul.. Also quite a few redundancies within the Cabin crew...

Well I thought they operated different engine types to us.. but they've got Trent 700's under their wings too...

Heard the same story, friend of mines a F/O with BMI, reckons at least two of the 330,s are going in the near future, he also told me monarch engineers actually maintain these aircraft for BMI at MAN ( which seems a bit odd as i know BMI have their own engineers there)

I believe this is a project to look at the 767 replacement ( its lease expires april 2010 ) with the downturn a few more suitable aircraft are coming onto the market...could be a 330 or another 767 we will see.
