Not old, just a facetious plane spotting nerd.
I was on a Thomson jet with Thomson livery with a Thomson ticket for a Thomson package holiday bought from a Thomson website and the delay was announced as "Thomson airlines apologises ..."
So what part of having a TCX flight code would mean that it was actually a Thomas Cook flight and not a Thomson flight?
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck ...
And if it spots planes like plane spotter and posts on websites like a plane spotter ....
Perhaps you should join a plane spotting website but you should definitely get out more.
