Nope ... look at page 11 of the press release link that I posted. It says "a long haul programme with 23 Boeing 787's".
If First Choice was to find a buyer/partner/merger, I'd imagine that most would have TUI high up on the desired list. As Pete McC says, I sincerely hope it's a friendly alliance with all at TUI. Both companies are looking for the merger to be completed by the third quarter of 2007.
