Well said Out of Trim. It would have been hilarious if they'd had a RR powered 787 as a courtesy plane!!
I live near Derby and it would have been nice if TUI had bought a quality local product, made by many of their passengers. It's not as if the RR engines are inferior to GE.
When I first flew on an Air 2000 RR powered 757 I loved looking through the window and seeing the RR logo on the engine. It made me feel secure.
I also liked the buck's fizz, the warm towel and I even eat the Ferrero Rocha chocolate!!!
