Looking at jethros and various mags, have seen speculation about the listed fleet changes - can anyone shed any further light on these.

Astraeus - further 73s or A319
Britannia - 767-400/A330s in near future
Monarch - retirement of 75 + A300s
Thomas Cook - withdrawal of 757s(in common with germany) - to be replaced with what?

Thanks

Condor are reducing their B757 fleet size.(Probably all 200 series to go). I would be suprised if Thomas Cook UK followed suit, B757 is most common fleet type.
Monarch operate a small fleet of 757s, they're quite old, close in size to A321s and only Boeing product in fleet so retirement seems logical. Maybe A300s will be replaced with more A330s.
