Completely wrong. Thomsonfly is one of the oldest established English airlines, formerly known as Euravia and latterly Britannia.....as I'm sure you know! Thomson Tour operations is owned by a german company but Thomsonfly have a British AOC and their head office is in Luton......which is in England last time I looked at a map.

The fact that they employ many foreign pilots is more to do with the fact that, for whatever reason, their home countries make them more able to afford the training.


And......yes.......you did touch a nerve there!
