Best decision Monarch has made over the last few years.
This a/c is be biggest pain in the for a number of years, especially for those who are trying day in and day out, to keep the damn things in the air.

One of the reasons Monarch decided to 'bin' the 787 was APD, which has also risen since their decision. The routes they wanted to use it on were not tax friendly!

The latest update I saw from Monarch was that they are still interested in new widebodies, and were going to discuss the matter at a board meeting. If agreement is reached they could take it further.
Hardly a ringing endorsement that imminent new ones are likely soon..However they would have to be confident they could get enough Travel Agent interest.
Another problem is that they have a seat pitch of just 29/30" on economy A330s.
This against generous 34" on TOM 787s..this seems likely to be the future bench mark. Could MON be able to afford such a good pitch at the expense of less seats in there cheap model ?
Hmm TOM 787 or MON sardine can, know which one id go for.

Apparently it had to return to stand at MAN because, while the windows had been loaded, the fasteners/clips for the windows had not been.
It had already spent some time waiting at MAN in the first place, before coming back for the clips, and before then flying to LGW, and finally to GIB.
Also, apparently 12 or 18 windows, so I'm not sure if it is cockpit ones as some have speculated.

Our flight back from Palma last year was delayed. The inbound flight popped into a French airport to deliver a new windscreen and engineers to fit it for a 757 that had lobbed in there after a crack appeared on a flight out of Ibiza.

partyboy_uk - as an 'amateur' but frequent flyer I would be interested to know how you obtain such information rather than my keep asking "anyone tell me what plane I will be on" ... therefore is this information readily available for all airlines please? I have posted on Monarch thread as my next flight is with them. Thanks

111KAB, although I am sure there are other ways of finding out this information, the reason I am able to tell you what equipment will be used for a particular flight is because I work for Monarch and have access to company information.
