at least it'll provide more room around forward galley for crew (and pax waiting for the loo)
interestingly a few years ago I heard of a project that suggested the removal of one pax seat on 757 in charter config was the equivilent of £500k of revenue per annum, sounds a bit high but possible (based on revenue to the group, for holiday and on board sale etc)
so IF TOM was operating these aircraft full that's £1m revenue per aircraft lost to Thomson???
