The inaugural flight came as a surprise to the passengers...
  1. Let's say I was one of the Thomson pax booked from LGW to Mahon on Friday 21st June.
  2. At check in I am told (doubtless with a smile) that we will be travelling on a 787, introduced on SH for crew familiarisation blah publicity blah.
  3. I say, (politely) "No thank you. I choose my carriers and aircraft very carefully. I will not travel on that aircraft for at least two years. Please rebook me at no cost to myself."
  4. You can guess the responses!
