Monarch delays & Compensations. Listed flights denied in O.P.

But..... Do you think they are a genuine EC like Bott are saying?

I would imagine they have more experience than me on it, but I would say no based on the meaning of the regs. But they are contradictory, flying and being hit by a birdie is part and parcel I would say as you are in their space so inherent, on the other hand it could be classed as a third party and not the airlines fault, grey area i think. Based on my first assumption no they are not EC and the same for weather as flying and the whole nature of it means you will experience this at some point, aircraft are designed for birdie strikes and bad weather. I think the line has to be drawn somewhere at this stage, maybe some case may change it if they are prepared to fight it.

Monarch have given you the proverbial two fingers, despite you having a legitimate claim. The CAA are useless, as you've seen. So you can:

a) continue to write letters; or
b) start legal action - either yourself or with a NWNF company.

One of these will get you your money, the other won't. Have a read of my guide to see what you have to do next.

RE: ZB847 ALC-LTN 7/26/2014
We write in regard to your outstanding claim for compensation made in accordance with European Regulation EC261/2004. Your claim has been on hold pending the outcome of an appeal by Jet2.com in the case of Ronald Huzar –v- Jet 2.com as regards to further clarity around the application of Regulation 261/2004 in relation to delays caused by technical issues.
We are aware of the Supreme Court’s decisions made on the 31st October 2014 whereby Jet2.com’s application to seek leave to appeal the Judgment handed down in the case of Ronald Huzar-v-Jet2.com was refused.
As a result of the stay, which has been in place for a considerable amount of time for all claims relating to technical faults, a high volume of claims now require a further review and processing. We can assure you that we are working through all claims as quickly as possible and will provide you with an update regarding your claim in due course. We would like to advise you that there is no need to re-submit your claim and we kindly ask that customers refrain from emailing or telephoning the EU Claim Team to chase the outcome of their claim as unfortunately this will impact on our ability to effectively review all claims in a timely manner. Please be aware that the EU Claim Team will not prioritise claims which are chased via telephone or email.
We are aware that you will be keen for your claim to be finalised and understand that you may feel this process is taking longer than anticipated. Please rest assured, we will respond to you as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience whilst our team works through all outstanding claims. In the event that we have not yet reached a decision on your claim and we are approaching 6 weeks from the date of this letter, we will send you a further update.
Please note that this is an acknowledgement and should be treated as such. We would like to make any customers aware who may consider issuing legal proceedings for reasons other than their claim becoming time barred under the Limitation Act, that if proceedings are issued we will have no hesitation in bringing this correspondence to the attention of a Judge as it reflects our efforts to communicate with customers proactively whilst working through the high volume of claims requiring action. If proceedings are issued following this acknowledgement, but prior to our full response being provided to you, please be aware that by reason of our commitment to communicate with you we will seek to recoup our legal costs which we will incur from defending such claims.
Any help appreciated as this was way over 6 weeks ago .
