It's the abbreviation for a phrase many people use when told their flight has been cancelled, with the 'R' standing for Ryanair. Perhaps

So why did Monarch swap "OM" for "ZB"???

At least the first code's letters were in the title.

Didn't MON use both at the same time ? One for scheduled ops and the other for charter ?
