Cardiff has an A320 based for 4 days a week this winter and it then generally goes to Leeds for the rest of the week.
Bristol has a permanently based A320.
Gatwick has just 1 x A321 based for the winter and no A320's.
As for the winglets....They cannot be added on to the B757's due to their leases and the costs involved wouldn't make themn viable before their leases ran out - so in short - No TCX winglets on their current 757's

Crewing's slave - thanks,understandable I suppose under present climate.
I see that the winter hols are on sale though for 09/10- how do I find the timetable schedule for TCX at CWL for 09/10? Doesnt seem easy to find on website unless you search under each destination and see if they do it?

TCX dont actually provide a schedule. flythomascook.com shows destinations from each airport, but aside from searching each individual destination its not possible to view.
However so early before W09/10 anything could change. Remember TCX W08 schedule is only to the canaries, which TOM already serves on the same days, and practically the same times. Even if TCX do sell their holidays on their own flights, if they dont sell well this year, or things change, most pax could easily be reacommodated on TOM flights for next winter.
I'm sure if this year is a success there is a much higher chance of a permanent base at CWL for next winter

Thomas Cook Engine Failure
A320 G-CRPH, Manchester - Tenerife, 7 November 2008
Engine failed at rotation.
Anybody know any more?
Was it those wood pigeons that mess about halfway down 23L?

Yes. It was indeed a pair of wood pigeons, Harold and Clarence. Rumour is that they had just been for a couple of pints of John Smiths in town and were heading back home. Apparently they tried to sneak across the runway without clearance. It is not known if either of them had their transponders turned on. What makes it worse is that Harold was on the phone to his wife at the time. Apparently his last words were “this will make the buggers late!!!”
They were both married with several chicks to support. RIP!
