Re Monarch financial results;
It all looked so encouraging until a report on Bloomberg today,
where the boss of Monarch says they want to move away from holiday charter traffic to true low cost..
If they plan that route against the much larger Easy Jet and Ryan Air they will get pulverized

Nigel - Monarch's pricing structure is similar to EZY/FR, their in flight service is similar to EZY/FR, their attempts to squeeze extra revenue in the form of seat selection etc are similar to EZY/FR and to top it off their seat pitch is usually worse than EZY/FR. If something looks like a lcc, smells like a lcc and acts like an lcc, the chances are it's an lcc. Monarch's days as a quality carrier are long long gone.

Looking for Annabelle Winter........
Can anyone help?
Looking for Annabelle Winter, who I believe flew for Monarch from 80 onwards. She was an instructor at Biggin Hill in 78/79.
Thank you
Peter Clarke

I remember Annabelle, although I cant help with her current whereabouts I'm afraid. I flew with her on the 737, back in the Berlin Days (late 80's/early 90's), she was also over in Guatemala with us in 89.....I think she had just joined then.........she took her husband with her as we were over there for several months, she had an acting background (I seem to recall she had RADA qualifications and a part in a Bond movie rings a bell too!!!!).
I think she left shortly after the 73's disappeared in the early 90's....maybe someone of our era, but with a better memory than me, can help!!!!

Nothing has changed with that report, that those of us at Monarch already new.
The only part which might have surprised some, but not me l hasten to add, is getting out of long haul.
The company announced over a year ago that is was going to concentrate on scheduled over charter in the future.
If we were not tied into lease agreements that are costly to get out of, the A330s would have gone.

No figure on overall losses was given but the group claimed “strong profitable growth” in tour operations sales and yields, driven by successful winter and summer package holiday programmes, particularly to Goa, Greece and Florida, for which sales significantly outperformed the market.

Peter,
Annabelle was at Stapleford Flight Centre 2/3 years ago, not sure if she is still about tho...I'd suggest you call Lisa at Stapleford and she will be able to advise you of onward contact info.

``VC 10 man.....This terrible news will not go down too well in the Derby area, we hate Leeds with a passion.
I will never go on an airline which sponsors Leeds United (aka scum ) ``
What a lovely chap you are. With attitudes like that I`m not suprised football tribalism is alive and well....

Some fairly heavy marketing by Monarch of ski routes to Friedrichshafen, Grenoble and Munich going on at the moment. Is this normal or a sign that Monarch is finding sales to these destinations a little below expectations ?
