Pilot union calls for probe into collapse of Monarch Airlines
A union representing 400 former Monarch Airlines pilots has called for an investigation by the UK govt into the collapse earlier this month of the airline. BALPA, the union, said that the “House of Commons Transport Committee should urgently investigate all the circumstances and make its findings public.” In particular, it is seeking answers to whether the group needed to file for insolvency Oct 2, and information into the recent revelation that Boeing had been injecting capital into Monarch from Oct 2016 to March this year. “Monarch pilots made huge pay and pensions sacrifices in 2014 to help Monarch turn itself around only to find that this was all in vain. They feel they did this simply to protect the financiers and they have been sacrificed in the process,” BALPA said. <br/>
