As has been said above, Thomson pilots are no mugs, some of the best and most experianced in europe in most peoples eyes, lets not get carried away with the if's and but's. There seems to of been many incidents similar in the past where the aircraft has been repaired and continued in service, and these were on much longer runways than 09, the only chaps that know what really was going on were sat up front, and in my eyes looking at the WX did a good job to get that bird down, I have always flown with FC/TUI for my hols both longhaul and short haul and use BRS regulally and will continue to do so.
