I had my medical the other day, and a Monarch pilot was in the waiting room with me. He said that it was a sh!t time to be coming into the industry because My Travel had just released 150 757/767 drivers. I guess those guys will be heading their way.

Standard Interview, nothing too tricky! Questions based on experience so if you are 500hrs expect the odd tech question if you are 5000hrs expect very little testing!
No sim.
Company prefers A320/B757 rated pilots with line flying experience.

Probably not the answer you are looking for but I very recently met a CTC A320 pilot who had just been dropped by Monarch after their six months. I dont know if they were an exception.
Good Luck.

Sorry, you are both wide of the mark.
MYT initailly making 118 redundancies in a 21st centuary politically correct Last in First Out way (ie proportionally the same percentage of females as males if made redundant)
Now down to about the 20 mark because many pilots have left to join other airline - predominantly Virgin and GB.
However the remaining redundancies are most likely to be Airbus pilots because they are the junior ones.
Just to keep the record straight!

Hi folks ... Has anyone had an interview with Monarch in the last week or so?
If so I'd be most interested to gain a 'heads up'.
Most favours returned but don't ask the impossible!
Thank you in advance.

Hi there,
I recently had an interview with Monarch and I'm pleased to tell you that there were no aptitude tests or Sim ride. In fact it was a fairly informal friendly chat with two fleet Captains. There were no technical questions. The main part of the interview involved discussing my experiences in my current job.
I have recently been through the tests for BA at Cranebank and for me Monarch's approach was a breath of fresh air. I think the main thing they are looking for is personality and can they sit next to you for a 6 hour flight and not want to kill you!
Best of luck
