I still haven't seen the new seats yet. Apparently only G-OZBZ and G-ZBAH have them

Only BZ has them at the moment.

OJEG will be fitted with the new seats. There is actually a 27" row, but that's the very last row.

The new seats aren't perfect yet, there's a bit more development and a few tweaks to be made to get them spot on though before the rest of the fleet gets them.

Your wife would hopefully be impressed Nigel, a lot of work has gone into these things and they are there primarily to make the experience better for passengers, the old seats are pretty poor in some aircraft and that's been acknowledged and is why this refit is happening, so hopefully one day you'll be back flying with us and enjoy it!

Interesting situation for Monarch this week. The UKBA has decided to detain and deport a British Gambian (resident in UK for 12 years) and return her to Gambia.

She happens to be the only witness to an accused sexual assault by a UKBA employee against a detainee at Yarl's Wood. By detaining her on Thursday, the witness has conveniently been unable to attend a police interview at which she would have made a statement.

She's now booked on ZB6478 from LGW tomorrow morning.

The campaign is pressing Monarch not "to obstruct a criminal investigation" (info here). Background in the Guardian here.

In such a situation, is the airline obstructing a criminal investigation by "repatriating" the individual concerned?

Yes this is true but I believe it is NS' final maintenance check before heading off to Tupelo

I'm sure all the MAEL line engineers will be sad to see the A300s go. They love them :-)

Anyone know what airframes Monarch EMA are having over winter?

I've been off for a while so they may have changed already but before I left no-one knew what combination of A320s or A321s they were having

Flightmech, you naughty, naughty, naughty engineer! They were things of beauty from Day One. (Cough.)

As was the DC-10.
