When they first starting flying it didn't have the latest thomas cook internal upgrade but they upgraded it in July and it's now pretty much the same as the rest.

Thanks ANT if you read my post 2333 from last year I travelled on that particular aircraft. The cabin senior cabin crew attendant told me it would be taken out of service and updated in summer 15. Its to late for us to do anything now so we will see. I will comment on our return. Just to add we had an Email a few weeks ago saying we would travel on HI Fly

Hi, the Airtanker aircraft was taken out of service in July to be refitted with the proper IFE as it wasn't put in correctly ( overhead instead of individual) for that month it was replaced by a Hifly A330 which is returning this year and both aircraft will be based at Glasgow from end of June to end of July and from Standted in August. Last year lots of complaints were received about the Hilfy aircraft but I believe it might have also been refitted so it's inline with TCX own fleet.

The Air Tanker was fully refitted last year. If you weren't told it was the AT you wouldn't know the difference between that and the other A330s. Outside livery the same, inside seats, IFE, etc etc the same. It's been like that since the end of August last year.

Air Tanker is based at GLA for most of the summer I believe, with the exception of a few weeks in August when it flies out of STN to support the English summer holidays.
AFAIK HiFly is based for June/July then STN for August like you said.

There are some subtle differences, but at first glance, and to your average passenger, they look identical.

Tenerife

Re Tenerife - same at BHX, after years and years of a pathetic weekly service it goes 4 a week this winter. They will now be up against Norwegian, Vueling, Thomson, Ryanair and Monarch of which Vueling is new and FR & ZB have increased their offering.

I would find a takeover by Greybull/Monarch a bit odd as the things that Thomas Cook do are the very things that Monarch just got rid of - charters and long haul. Having achieved a common fleet they would also find themselves in possession of aircraft that aren't A320s/21s again.
I put this in another thread as well - Perhaps the first newspaper reports regarding ZB for sale are still correct - ZB/MT doesn't make sense - I view this as greybull talking themselves up thus presenting Monarch as a better proposition to potential suitors

TCX cabin crews began voting yesterday on industrial action over what there union claim are dangerous cuts to break periods.
Thomas Cook air crews plan to go on strike over 'dangerous' cuts to their break | Daily Mail Online
Strikes could starts during the forthcoming May half term holiday, if the vote comes back for strike action

We fly with them on the Thursday of that week... Not great, hope it gets sorted. How would that pan out if they strike? Cancelled holidays or sub chartered aircraft?
