i would assume a number of new crew will go on to the ssv aircraft rather than spend money and time training existing crew already in check for the G registered aircraft.

The Travel Service flights are for Thomas Cook Holidays and not TCX, the same way that they charter capacity from TOM, MON, LS, AEA, IWD etc.
They are not being operated for TCX.

i understand but in the case of SkyService it is a Canadian reg aircraft with own flightdeck etc - even though it will operate under a TCX flight number and cabin crew. with smartwings it is their own flight number so obv will be a complete sub charter.

People, people, people!!!
Travel companies...thomas cook, thomson, first choice, cosmos.....
they regularly, year in, year out use other airlines other than their own to operate fights on their behalf....
it is not a lack of aircraft....
it is not a sub-charter....
it is nothing to do with TCX in fact.....
why are people always shocked when other airlines operate on behalf of a tour operator?!
it's been happening since the 70's!!!!
can we move on now please.....

3 "facts" that are complete fiction....hence my point.
and the following charters are not on behalf of TCX?
GLA-PMI-GLA BD
GLA-AGP-GLA BA
Seriously; your getting all hot and bothered about the smallest technicality. Nobody is going to die if someone does not differentiate between Thomas Cook Holiday and Thomas Cook Airlines. Either way, its still Thomas Cook.
Chill out!

they are wholly seperate companies and if Thomas cook holidays were, for example, to go bust....Thomas cook airlines would continue to operate....
basic example i know but to just prove a point to you.
im not getting over excited and i do not need to "chill out". It is silly untruthful statements like yours that turn in to the most bizarre stories and rumours.
if we start with getting the basic facts right then we cant go far wrong can we!

Thomas Cook Airlines is actually regarded as the aviation arm of the tour operator (which include airtours,club 1830, sunset,style,panorama,manos,direct holidays, neilson etc etc). the official company name is in fact Thomas Cook Airline Services and they regard themselves as the transport division of the t/o. as for TCX not going bust if TCTO did - is ridiculous! although they do carry pax from external t/o's - the majority are in house - so would have an immediate knock on effect. like in the case of XL it was actually The XL Leisure Group that went bust including the airline.

i wrote this line....no-one appears to understand that it is a BASIC EXAMPLE
Some people on here are complete and utter imbeciles - seriously
i was pointing out the difference between the 2 companies - they ARE NOT the same
they are linked but different - as simple as that
now can we leave this discussion, stick to facts, and grow up for goodness sake.
