It seems two of Monarch's A300's are for-sale, are they for-sale now just to be sold when the B787 arrives or are they planning of getting rid now? Also there is 2 X 2004 A321's, are these aircraft actually forsale or are they up for sub-lease etc??

Where are you getting that info from Easy321?

A300-600 For Sale or Lease on SpeedNews does that work? After looking more into the site there seems to be two each of the aircraft types ZB have except the A330 listed on there and I'm just guessing they are listed on there for the odd lease here and there, not a sale.

The list is dated 13th January 2009.

If you actually read the ad easyJet A321 it's a generic ad for the whole fleet i.e. Monarch operates a mix of charter and scheduled ops and if you have a need for an aircraft on ACMI or dry lease they will be happy to talk to you.
It doesn't say they're for sale at all...:ugh::ugh::ugh:

Well if you actually read my previous post you should take that back. Don't try and get cocky thank you very much

Wasn't getting "cocky" easyJet321 just hadn't seen your reply as I hadn't refreshed the page to see your update while I checked out what you were wittering on about (amongst other things). You could have always deleted the original posting due to it being a heap of the smelly stuff?

Thank YOU very much.....

Okay sorry, both mis-understanding each other :)

Your dead right about the IT dept tight seat , i dont know how bad it is in the airline but in engineering its a disgrace, the system is in no way fit for purpose, its a constant nightmare ,heads should have rolled years ago

Couple of great replies above that made me laugh...

"the 'family' are horrified at the lack of investment in the company over the last years (thanks PB)".

That borders on hilarious bearing in mind it's the 'family' that control the purse strings!

"Your dead right about the IT dept tight seat , i dont know how bad it is in the airline but in engineering its a disgrace".

Again, very amusing... wasn't the IT Director promoted to Engineering Director?

Yes he was, scary innit:eek:

The guy in charge wants to get off his arse at 3 oclock on a sunday morning and get down to one of the monarch line stations and witness the chaos the crap IT causes the engineers trying to sort out tech aircraft due to the pitifully under funded IT system, im not blaming the IT staff its the amount of funds that are made available thats the issue ,it needs sorting now

Anybody know what the delays are from MAN today, seems MON have few probs, should have been at airport now waiting for friends on arrecife , but it not arriving till around 3ish :mad

I dont blame you for being mad mate, what right had that monarch aircraft to go tech, no consideration for the flying public, .. bloody outrageous

I'm not mad at monarch in particular, just that i'll be up most the night now, do appreciate things can go wrong, was wondereing what the problems were, as they seem to have a few delays today looking at the arrrivals online, and yes i know its not just monarch that have problems either before anyone happens to bite my head off, was just enquiring thats all . thank you:ok:

Anyone heard about this extra work mon have picked up as a result of the demise of skyservice which according to rumour means at least two 757,s are being added to the fleet

Well i for one don't know what's happening with the fleet issues at the moment but the 6524 yesterday MAN - MSA which is booked a 332 ended up being an AB6...
I shouldn't imagine the Prem pax wouldn't have been too impressed with the standard AB6 seat pitch for near on 9 hrs Non-Stop...

EGCC7955

Its a good job it went on G-MONS, which is the A300 with a premium cabin then!!!

Just as well 'NS' operated it then, 3 cheers for the fact it didn't leave 'em in the s**t, by going tech....
still doesn't explain the absence of one of the 332's,
Reckon the 767 returned to TCX just at the wrong time, having one less long haul aircraft available for the summer season surely can't be a good thing...

Anyonme know where the 757's will come from and how many are they going to get, i hope they get some more of them.:ok::ok:
