I think your really confused when it comes to the status of TCX Thomas Cook Airlines! Newcastle may or may not recognise it as a scheduled airline but I can assure you that other than the transatlantic operation out of Manchester it is very much a charter airline, you can't even book any of their charter flights through a GDS other than seat only on the Thomas Cook Holidays website. Jet2 is completely different the majority of people use their website to book seats on their scheduled flights as is the case with EasyJet and Ryanair the holiday part of it is just an additional source of revenue for those airlines and a very profitable one but in the case of Jet2 they very much promote the Jet2Holidays part of their operation based around their scheduled flights where as Thomas Cook Holidays base their package holiday program around their charter flight operation the same way as TUI Thomson do.
