What if????
What if it is nothing to do with Monarch and it's actually a North American holiday/cruise company that has gone under and that is why it's all North American/Canadian airlines that are doing the flights to bring their own people back staging via the UK

We'll see one way or the other in the morning, won't we. My heart goes out to the staff of Monarch who will have a sleepless night worrying.
Unfortunately it entirely normal if a business closes down abruptly for most departments to carry on as normal until an announcement is made - this includes recruitment. Management would say, sometimes truthfully, that they have been trying to salvage the business right up to the last minute.

The people who launch routes, recruit crew, in charge of PR etc etc are just employees running the airline. They won't be privy to anything about any potential wind down or administration so there is no other option for them to be busy as usual until told otherwise.

[QUOTE]What's strange is why would TS be at MAN and OY207 & 819 be at LGW if they are repatriation flights? Wouldn't they all be down route ready?

At a guess I would say they would need to drop crews off who will presumably be based at MAN and other UK airports during the operation.

Yes G-OZBZ is operating the Ibiza flight and is just taking off from Gatwick. Birmingham-Ibiza flight has also taken off 4 minutes ahead of schedule. Manchester-Ibiza flight will be the last to take off today.

I don't work for Monarch but have friends there. Apparently staff were paid 2 days ago so they are solvent. However the ATOL cert may be the issue which is why the CAA has got involved. If that can be resolved the company can go on trading like any other.
