Well done you DADDY OH!, that is wonderfull news my( hubby was made redundant recently and its horrible) what sort of job will you be doing with JET2?:D:D:D

Cherrylock

Thanks Cherrylock. I'll be a Captain on the B757/767 fleet.
:ok:

I'm afraid I can't post a link as it was sourced internally from the company I work for (Monarch are NOT about to purchase Jet2, no other Airline or organisation is either. Jet2 is here to stay.)

DADDO-OH! Welcome to Jet2, I'm sure you will love it! What base are you at?

Didn't ZB's number two to TJ bail out about a week ago as well?

Sort of, she is off furthering her career at Virgin Blue.

My other half was saying he was listning to the radio 4 today programme a couple of weeks ago and a big cheese from monarch was being interviewed and he said monarch actually made about 7 million pounds profit last year

ps MR SPOTTY my brothers applied for a maintenance planning job is that base maintenance?

cherrylock, No that is not Base Maintenance, at what location is he applying?

Monarch 767
 

Is there any truth in Monarch keeping G-DIMB for long than expected.:ok:

Does anyone know if Monarch plan to lease the ex zoom 757 again for summer season. Have Monarch got any plans for more aircraft in the near future.:ok::ok:

Right SCANDIC lets answer your two questions.
1. G-DIMB is not stopping with Monarch, it is going into the Monarch hangar in Manchester mid March for its end of lease check. It comes out late April and goes into the Air Livery hangar at MAN to be painted into full TCX colours.
2. Monarch leased a B757 from Astraeus to cover for the A321 that Monarch decided not to get in the end from easyjet. No leases are planned that l know of at this time.:ok:

Thank ypu for answering those 2 for me your very helpful.

If you put "may" in your first question Scandic it could yet be true.

I actually thought that when Monarch got DIMB they might of got a few more 76's especially with MONC/ D being scrapped the other year which was the end of an era.:)

Would rather see them get more 330,s tbh

which would be...

Answer.....NO

The aircraft has a line of flying during May for TCX, so to get this in TCX colours and config in time for May, it will be laving in april as planned.

Its all booked in to Air Livery in April .....

Thank you Fernanjet, l have been telling people for months on various PPRuNe forums including Monarchs own, that it is bye bye G-DIMB. The next time the a/c lands in the UK it will be a positioning flight from France and will be Monarchs last flight with that a/c.:{

Sorry if this has been asked; once the 767 goes, will Monarch be continuing to provide the charters for African Safari? Just interested to know if we'll start seeing A300s or 330s through Basel...

The A330 is currently doing charters via Basel.

Have they not ordered the 787? why would they want more 767's too?

Hardly a mass growing market is it really?

B767's - dont forget G-OITF, G-OITG and G-OITL!

B787's - I'll bet that you never see these in MON colours, $1m lease rental a month - I just cant see how these will fit into the charter model.
