Why would MON ever bring back Tim Jeans ???

MON is on the right track and is building up a healthy network of routes - 'italian job' and 'ski dests' as well as Nice and Madeira and Dubrovnik - most of which currently have a good load factor on the flights. It is slowly moving away from its charter heritage which began to hemorrhage money as the charter flight decline began, but is still keeping its feet in the charter water, while at the same time as becoming a key competitor in the no frills market. Not only this but they are becoming one of the largest if not soon to be biggest operators in BHX... yes i did say a couple of words a while ago about how i wish MON would be better at MAN or something like that but when i now see that MON is doing a great job at BHX it shows that they must be doing something right.

To conclude MON is better off without TJ and his cronies who tarnished the name of Monarch, they are improving their service and offerings to the public and are improving and strengthing their route map, fleet (slowly being updated and increasing in size - 36 aircraft by next summer did i say a while back?) and their bases (which has been increased by 2 - EMA and a focus hub of sorts at LBA - set to become a base next year?).

Wow! Great things to come then! Always nice to see MON expanding (cautiously as ever - which is not a bad thing) and especially so in the current climate - when TCX and TOM are slightly downsizing ops.

New T2. Monarch's Flight-Deck based cheerleaders such as yourself may be in love with all this talk of growth, but have you actually SEEN what they are planning?!?

Yes I have thanks (if I hadn't, I obviously would not have contributed to this thread)


''Monarch's Flight-Deck based cheerleaders such as yourself''................is there really any need?? No I didn't think so

Not that I'd ever make a comment about 'Enthusiasts' but that picture Monarch are using of the one to Airbus is erm... well it just about sums the average enthusiast up... doesn't it!

That enthusiast trip to Milan is practically all booked up - last time i heard - a couple of weeks ago there was like 1 place from MAN and 3/4 from LGW free, so by now it will probably be fully booked.

Great to see that they are doing a better trip than the last one price wise as this is very reasonably priced considering what it all includes!

JSCL totally agree with you there. As a person who likes aircraft and would love to go on a trip like the ones MON have done and are doing now and in the future, i feel that i would stick out from the rest of the bunch. Nothing personal ofcourse as i am sure that they are lovely people and would probably get on great with them, but you know.

Aplogies if the above comment offended anyone, it was not meant to offend!

Tell us what you know about the economics of ACMI operations using 20 year old classics from Eastern Europe in the off season in a new market?

Egon,

I cannot answer that as it is not the field I specialise in, and I fully expect it isn't yours either

So I wont insult fellow ppruners intelligence by waffling on about all the mistakes I 'think' other people are making.

I try to do my job to the best of my ability and I leave others to do the same

PM sent

They are not just using them in the off season, July & August in my opinion is not off season.
