I think the current TUI 787 names are quite subjective and have been around now for a while...
Time for a change might be a good thing, but only if done most sensitively as not to upset the current incumbents.
That would have all to be treated with kid gloves.

We will not see ever again the heady Britannia Airways 'Patriotic, and Days of Empire' of naming their fleet after such notables as Captain James Cook, Robert Clive of India, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Francis Drake, Lord Horatio Nelson or Lord Earl Mountbatten of Burma.
The Wokerati and the ''pulling down statues'' brigade would have apoplectic kittens if that was ever to happen, and of course ''Don't mention the War'' to the German owners of TUI LOL.

Britannia did name many aircraft of notable Pioneers of British Aviation and also Antarctic Explorers, and it would be perhaps nice to see that again?
Leisure International named their 767's Atlantic Star and Caribbean Star.
