I think mintflavour sumed it up well. The 757 fleet size is actually going down by 4 over the winter.

Add about 5.7% to the ppjn numbers to get this years pay rates. As for the 330, 3-4 years. But it all can change very quickly ( good and bad).

A321?

Thanks Mintflavour and the rest. I've heard the (more or less confirmed) rumours about the 757's. However, you don't mention the A321's there's been talks about? A couple of months back I heard you were getting one, about one month ago I heard 4 (replacing the 757's)!
Any news on them?

330

I would say more like 15-20 yrs as any new joiner and probably a good bunch that have joined in the last year or so would get there commands well before they ever see the 330. There's that many waiting on the seniority list.

As tight seat suggests 1 or 2 new airframes would change all that. But MON has been unsuccessful in acquiring the XL ones so it will be interesting to see if/where they find any.


Instinct - Officially 4 757's go in Nov. Hoping to source 2x757 and 2x321 to replace. Any more than that is unknown.

Easy Ryder- maybe 3-4 was a bit quick. That seniority list hasn't half filled up since my arrival! I think you may be right about the command before 330 thing too.

The reason I joined Monarch was for a long term, stable airline job. Shorthaul is fun. The people you work with are 2nd to none, the aircraft are looked after by in house (fantastic) engineers.. oh and they pay up on the time everytime. Dont join M for the 330, join for a good safe job,,,, the beachfleet will just be the cherry on the top.

adwjenk,

How long is a piece of string?

Impossible to say how long time to command will be. Depends on what the company is doing in the next few years i.e. expansion or not etc. But wouldn't be surprised if it goes up to between 7 and 10 years.

Good point just wondering, still seems like a command in Monarch is well worth the wait from what I have heard.

Thanks

The latest commanders who were promoted this summer have been in the company for approx 3.5 years. Very lucky chaps who leap frogged over a bunch of CTC guys who haven't quite got the hours yet.

However with little expansion next year there prob won't be too many commands next year. Therefore CTC guys will catch up pretty quick. 4000hrs required at Monarch for command. After that I reckon time to command will drop to about 5-6 years.

However, as someone has already stated things can change at the drop of the hat, and so you could bin everything I've just written.

My experience at Monarch. Currently an F/O, not the best payers in the industry, but I have a LIFE. I'm on 320/330 so can't complain. Great bunch of people to work with. I must admit that Captains do work a lot harder than us.

3REDS,

Now all done via the net. Have a look at: Monarch | Jobs | flight deck

In the box named: 'employment as flightdeck' there is an option to submit a profile.

ATIS, where you based?

looks like the CTC guys would be the first to be given the jobs. The current interviews is for hold pool purposes only, they have no courses planned at present for new guys next year. Theory is that we need a pool just in case things turn around quickly....but not looking likely given current market

Contact

Has anybody got any infos as to who and how I should send a CV (as their online application does not seem to be working) please?

I'm rated on the A306 and wouldn't mind joining any swimmers in the pool. If there is still a pool.

Thanks a lot

It's not that the online application is not working, they have just removed it from the website for the time being. Unfortunately I think thats your answer
