Monarch has refused to confirm press reports that staff who escape the axe have been asked to accept pay cuts.

The airline announced last month that it was cutting 1,000 jobs - a third of the workforce - as part of its restructuring plans, which will include ditching all charter flights.

Now, according to press reports, remaining staff have been asked for productivity improvements of 25% to 35% in addition to wage cuts.
