I have noticed TUI tend to position the aircraft to wherever the problem is whereas often Thomas Cook bus the passengers wherever the spare is, if it is fairly close or logistically possible of course (crew hours etc)

Thanks, reason I asked was they have sent a couple of B787s to fill in over here, most recently G-TUIJ yesterday and felt it was an awful waste of resources. Last year they send a B738 mostly.
