Wonder if people could answer a few questions about the fleet:
  1. Why is the G-FDZ* series missing quite a lot of letters? C, H, I, K-P and V are all missing (Q is obviously not used in the UK)

  2. Similarly, with the G-TAW* series, why is G-TAWE not used? I can see it was used previously on an ATR 42, but it crashed in 2006, way before the TAW series started so why did they skip it?

  3. Also, FCA had the 757s from G-OOBA to BJ, then 767s from BK to BM. After which Thomson bought some more 757s (BN, BP) - but why did they skip BO? Is it that they didn't like the look of G-OOBO?

  4. Finally, a kind of obscure question, but why do Sunwing change the second letter of some of the winter leases as well as changing the G- to a C-. Is it some kind of rule? For example G-FDZF becomes C-FEZF

Thanks, I know these are kind of strange questions but curiosity got the better of me and I figured somebody on here would know the answers.
