On the surface the plan to compete with the locos seems suicide.

Have the plans to order the b737s actually been shelved? Seems suspicious in the least to look to procure a different fleet, then shortly afterwards announce a business direction change.

Maybe I am just far too suspicious for my own good sometimes.

Unless the 737's were part of the loco plan already in advance...

Just as management are asking you to take the downside pain, presumably they re offering equity to share in the upside....

All Monarch peeps are touching their toes at the moment and they won't be coming up anytime soon...

Or they're following Monarch's lead in deciding that the regionals have no future.

That plan was put in place at least 12 months ago! There is another airframe coming to MAN in 2015 too - thought I'd mention that before all the conspirators jump on that one too!!

25 737max spread out over several years is just too few airframes to compete.

Scratchinthesky...

BA bought BMI! Bit different when you buy the whole company as opposed to a single retired aircraft unit from a company! Apologies if it sounded sarcastic...

Jet2 recruiting for 757 as we speak. Regardless of how and when airframes are bought and sold, crew are always free to change employers.

On god, another 'big announcement' coming. Like the many other big announcement days I've heard rumoured in my time at the big easy, the day will come and go and nothing will be said.

I can't see them absorbing an airline just to get a few extra slots. From a business point of view it would be much easier to just wait and if the worst were to happen, then the slots would be easiy to come by picking up the ashes. It's a lot cheaper and simpler.

If things don't turn out well for Monarch, which I sincerely hope does not come to pass, then one thing is for certain. Easyjet will not want to see any of Monarch's LGW slots end up in the hands of the competition. Would they consider another take-over a la GB Airways? Highly unlikely on the face of it with the current flexible fleet expansion plans. But LGW is Easyjet's cash cow so if it kept the competition out, then who knows.
