Get your facts right before you post.
Monarch have made a profit for virtually every year they have been going and own most of their a/c outright (which is more than can be said for many other companies)
It was Cosmos up for sale and not the Airline, but if the price is right any company is up for sale. Airtours, JMC, Air 2000, Ryanair could all be sold tomorrow as could Monarch.

I have nothing whatsoever against Monarch, Cosmos or anyone employed by them.
My posting reflects only the information published widely in the business sections of several reputable newspapers a month or so back.
I am glad those in Monarch are happy and wish the airline every success. However compared to the other charter airlines in the UK I would have thought that as a large amount of their work is from companies that will now be bringing their work in house they would be feeling exposed.
I will be as pleased as anyone to find I'm wrong.

Ella,
I very much doubt that you have the slightest idea who Monarch is even owned by! It may also interest you to know that the majority of our fleet are owned by the company so the asset value of the company is quite phenomenal when compaired to many other airlines. This puts the company in a slightly better position to weather the forthcoming storm, because it doesn't have to incur as many leasing costs for aircraft that may end up being parked on the ground due to lack of business next year.

You're right Ella, Tour Ops ARE moving most cap back to in house, which can only mean the wall for the likes of HH and those piddly little airlines who rely on charter bad luck and the need to sub - MON however I am sure will survive. Their headcount has always been lean and as they are by far one of the best charters, I suspect that Tour Ops would turn to them as first choice for any 3rd party flying.

Hi everyone, im only 16 and i really really want to become an airline pilot. Im studying a-levels at my 6th form in maths,physics, geography and computing.Soon, i am going to start the ppl course at coventry and after school i am going to apply for air atlantique. Im hesitant about doing this as i dont know wheather a university degree would help or the airlines would consider you to be too young?
Does a ppl help?
I know that sponsorship schemes are very competitive, but what are they really looking 4?
If i dont get sponsorship, whats the next best way in?
