I'm a Monarch FO, MAN based. I have a family, commitments, all the other jazz.
Life goes on. I refuse to have my life ruled by the people or circumstances responsible for this, whoever it or they are.
Without pointing fingers at any particular individual - how can it be acceptable that the way I find out about my job is through this avenue?
I thank you all for reporting the facts, I even thank you all for reporting the fiction - because that's all we have to plan our immediate futures on. Our peers are no where to be seen.
For this reason only, I wish someone could be held accountable, but suspect not.

I wish you and your colleagues all the best whatever happens. I agree with you that in your hour of need their is no one to answer your questions is totally unacceptable. I hope you get closure on this debacle ASAP.

Regarding the numbers of a/c being queried..A further clue may be last year when the aircraft intended for repatriation all positioned or had in the system ready for use the airline flying as prefix but then the pre-existing MON digits to the particular allocated service...
It makes sense to all involved parties to fly ALL the pax home on the same flight they were due to with MON originally & then re-distribute costings later..
Evidently MON is solvent @ the present time with £10`s of millions in the bank too so call could be made on those funds to help their customers unprotected by ATOL.

In the event Monarch do fail come the morning, what would happen to their slots at LGW in particular but also elsewhere? Would they become the 'property' of the administrator to sell onto someone else e.g. BA, or by ceasing to exist and thus not using the slots would the slots revert back to the airport's ownership? If the latter, might that increase he prospect of Monarch flying on for a time?

Both BHX and LGW are showing as boarding - but again that happened last year it was just late.
Still dont understand why they are chartering multiple planes especially the wide bodies for 5%. You could put these people onto other flights without chartering anyone.
