Monarch Airlines have gone bust, I have used them quite a few times and they seemed pretty decent.
They obviously can't compete with low cost airlines

I'm in Majorca. Was flying back with Monarch.
Waiting for new flight details

Ryan Air will be breathing sigh of relief on this,. takes the heat off them for a while.surprise this one as I haven't seen much about them struggling. The main stories have been about Ryanair, all obviously not having a good time of it all but I do wonder whether this is going to spark an increase in flights?
I wondered that this morning. They said on the news they nearly went last year, and there had been whispers for the past two or three.surprise this one as I haven't seen much about them struggling

Guess tbf it's not in their interests to publicise it, but I certainly wasn't in the know on those whispers!

I heard they have been winging it for years.

Had an email 2 days ago off them advertising cheap deals!

The only good thing is Ryanair short on pilots a load are now available, good luck to anybody who is stranded
The price of cheap!After listening to a radio interview with a RyanAir pilot who was whistle blowing I doubt there’s a queue of people wanting to work for them!
Was about 7 mins long sharing how they have to PAY RyanAir €300 for an interview and once offered the job, they have to PAY RyanAir €28,500 (think was the figure) before they’re actually taken on! They are on zero hour contracts, have to pay even for their own bottled water (due to some working / flying hours some even resort to taking an empty bottle and filling it up before departure!), don’t get paid extra for delays etc and the extra hours they have to work to make up for them. Was an interesting listen, and makes you think what a shame it is that companies who maybe treat their staff better don’t survive, like Monarch (although haven’t heard either positive or negative things about their ownership / management so I could be totally wrong) when companies like RyanAir continue to clearly abuse not only their customers but also their staff!
I for one will certainly think twice about booking with them in the future!
As for Monarch and this news, it’s not only awful for people who’ve travelled and not yet returned with them, but also the ones who have holidays booked in the future (more so the ones who only found out the news at the airport!!) and add to that the staff who’ve been left unemployed!!
Was that on the Saturday Nick? Because that is when they first suggested to the CAA that they would be going into administration.
Ah late friday now I have checked the dates.
