Simon you do make me laugh. Your really like your detail dont you!

We all knew what he meant by airframes.

Yeah it is down from last year but demand is down and is incredibly hard to predict because so many people are booking last minute.

But it is still more than other charter carriers in DUB.

Air contractors - 1 x 737
Thomson Airways - 1 x 320 (normally a SSV 757)

Come on chowder some people like to sound all technical even if they aint got a clue what there talking about ,its a spotter thing, give em a break man, you may know what the term airframe technically means a lot dont, however if it makes them happy so what?:ok:
anyway good luck to monarch nice to see there confident enough to base a couple of "airframes":} at DUB

Smudge has come to put someone else down. I was wondering how long it would take. The person who left that comment is not a "spotter".

Ive heard a rumour monarch are planning to expand at Edinburgh this year, is it true ?:ok:

Well done to all the Monarch engineers that keep the big birds flying all year round especially the 757's and a300's cos their getting on a bit but still fantastic to see flying.:ok: Love the A300's great aircraft.

Have to agree scandic, monarchs engineers are without doubt excellent and have a reputation second to none in the business

I'm glad you agree, top notch airline.:ok::ok:

Oh you two are back in this forum then. keep up the good work!

We do our best.:ok:

I agree, the A300 is a great aircraft but from the pax comfort viewpoint, not in the 361 seat configuration.

Unlike Jet 2 engineers then Simon???? :D Glad to see you have left the Jet 2 forum! "Have to agree scandic, monarchs engineers are without doubt excellent and have a reputation second to none in the business"

Re your comment re 361 Pax in A300

Have u seen the economy seats in the B787 on the boeing Website ??

They have been designed around The Far Eastern Pax But there again ANA are the Launsh Customer..


Reckon MON would Manage 400 + in B787















Regards

change of CEO today, with immediate effect?

OA

I suppose he is lucky he hasnt gone to live with the fishes :eek:

The absolute limit (as determined by door configuration) will be 440 on a 787-8, the Boeing 'default' configuration for one class is 375 seats.

They manage 374 on an A330-200 capable of 406, so with a smallish forward premium cabin, I bet 400 isn't far off the mark.

farewell to the worst thing to happen to Monarch in its history, under his regime it has gone from being a tight-knit family to a hotch-potch of journeymen, and numerous good people discarded along the way to fulfil his agenda, if only we could wind the clock back to 2002...

Who has been replaced by whom, assuming this is not confidential ?

Pity the other joker wasnt made an offer he couldnt refuse at the same time

So, what was the reason for the sudden departure?

I heard he suddenly decided on a career change after waking up to find a horses head next to him
