pin head.... i don't know the answer specifically to your question... however i will say that Thomson has always and will always be a very conservative company regarding the economy. They (as in the management) do not like to over extend and tend to live life happy with steady returns with a long term outlook. When the economy is booming, they have added capacity slowly and when the economy is flat or contracting.... withdrew cautiously.
That is why they have been here for 50 years and in my opinion will continue to be here in 50 years time.
They work on a 5-10 year timescale not the 6-12 months other airlines do. Any minor changes to a few courses should be seen as just that... minor.
Hope that helps.
