    I'm going to Court, and I suggest everyone forms a line![/QUOTE...lol already submitted my paperwork, and even emailed them a copy....lol...the response... will pass it over to legal....

    I know there are those who feel contact MP's and such would be a diversion, but quite frankly my view is , it will take a great deal of pressure from various sides before they do anything....:j:j

    IMO it won't be until they start getting fined that they will do anything other than what they are doing now. I'd bet that the drop out rate after being fobbed off with EC's is 50%.

    75-80% I would say.

    Call me old fashioned, but I think it's inherently dishonest and indicative of a lack of integrity for any company just behave in such a manner. They don't deserve to stay in business.

    I have my doubts they will....

    Firstly the size of fleet -

    Monarch > 32 planes

    EasyJet > 190 planes

    Ryanair > 305 planes with rumoured 150 more on order

    Now the age of fleet -

    Monarch > 14.5 years average with 3 Boeings over 25 years old

    EasyJet > 4.4 years average all Airbus planes

    Ryanair > 4.2 years average all Boeing planes

    Airline profit (most recent figures)

    Monarch > £45 million loss in 2011

    EasyJet > £225 million profit

    Ryanair > £18 million

    Number of passengers pa

    Monarch > under 6 million for both charter and schedule

    EasyJet > 60 million

    Ryanair 90 million

    Delays (not all flights analysed just representative)

    Monarch > average delay just short of 30 minutes with 3% of flights over 3 hours. Their operation from Manchester being the worst with an average delay of 36 minutes per flight.

    EasyJet > average delay of 9.15 minutes with 0.49% of flights over 3 hours. Their operation from Gatwick being the worst with an average delay of 10.89 minutes

    Ryanair > average delay of 8.8 minutes with 0.32% of flights over 3 hours. Their operation from Stansted being worst with average delayof 9.4 minutes.

    In addition Monarch only have UK bases whereas EasyJet and Ryanair have bases throughout Europe.

    111KAB, you need to level the comparison to compare easyJet's and Ryanair's UK based operations with Monarch.
