The letter that went out yesterday said 45 people to lose jobs at MAEL, it did not say Line as you have reported, it did not say Luton as reported in the Luton thread.
The actual areas with numbers to go will be come clear within the next few days.
The airline also to lose 10 back room staff as well.

As an ex Monarch eng, I would just like to say all the best during this period. All the guys I worked with at LGW are top blokes. Looks like Monarch are rewarding the staffs flexibility in the only way they know how!

Possible life line
Lets hope the Aer Lingus and Globespan contracts are won by Monarch. Hopefully no redundancies then. Lets hope the pencil pushers in the offices get their finger out and cement the deal. There are a lot of worried engineers at LGW at the moment.

Bodes well for a happy ship. Within two weeks of the new guy taking command,18 people at LGW are placed under threat of loosing thier livelihoods.Perhaps the old guy did not think it neccessary or have the guts to carry out the redundancies. That said he did have the guts to fall on his sword and "retire".

Sorry and suprised to see monarch laying off licensed engineers, speaking as someone who has been involved in trying to source suitably experienced licensed chaps with most of the popular airbus and boeing types on their licences i can honestly say you wont be unemployed for long!, get your cv onto aviation jobsearch ASAP.

Doesnt look like these job losses are the end sadly, a top honcho at monarch has allegedly let it slip in a meeting with the staff involved that base maintenance is to be " hit hard " later in the year.

Did NC leave before these redundancies were dished out?

Unfortunately, there's going to be a quite a few LAEs floating
around soon, not just ex-MAEL staff. We simply cannot compete
with Europe for Base MX. Level playing field? My avionics arse.
Well done our friendly NAA, the UKCAA
BAe146??? And self serving, incompetent lodge members

Anybody got any more information on this yet? Hangar, Base or Line there's a lot of good people there and the job market is pretty dismal right now, I've got a mate still looking for work after the Excel collapse.

Good luck to them, nothing like letting your rival take the hit on training folks at great expense, and then sack them, giving you the chance to snap up well qualified chaps and further the business.
