I wrote the line above...basic example but just to prove a point......

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.
Let's look at some more facts. You are the one who got stressed out and lost the plot over nothing. You are the one who resorted to name calling. You are the one taking this thread off topic, everyone else was talking about facts.

Now I suggest you take your own advice; stick to the facts, get a life and grow up!

Finding it hard to keep track of the 20th July TCX35L flight from POP-GLA with changes to aircraft type on a 2-3 day basis.One minute it is the TCX Scandinavia single class 330 but currently it has just changed back to a 2 class 330.Can't the op just assign a certain aircraft type and be done ?

and we can all see why you never persued a career in public relations!

Cabot asked a legitimate question. If your such an expert on airline operations, why don’t you answer his question rather than replying with snide and snobby remarks?

Ever heard the saying; there is no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid answers?!

Looks like all three TCX B767s will be fully occupied with Mediterranean/short-haul programs based in Manchester this summer..

Looks like Skyservice has went into administration and all flights cancelled with immediate effect. How does this effect Thomas Cook's plans to use them this summer for charter flights? Will they be able to find more aircraft at this stage, or will certain bases see a reduction if aircraft?

(Serious answers only please! None of the Thomas Cook Holidays is not TCX nonsense).

yes what a worry! but maybe TCX knew this was coming and hence why the Smartwings 737 popped up - to free a 757 for the canadian routes? just an idea. cant find any info elsewhere except that SSV are bust.

As far as im aware the Canadian route were not on the Skyservice 757, they are on TCX's own metal.

The Travel Service 737-800's are only coming in for a few months for TC, The SSV 757 was to be leased for the whole summer season.

Its going to cause some problems for GLA flights considering one was to be based there.

Flights were originally to be operated by SSV, but changed to an alternative carrier about 4-6 weeks ago.

All Canadian routes from GLA planned to be operated by TCX aircraft. 2 additional 757 for LGW though to take fleet up to 44 for summer.

Thomas Cook Canada have awarded a contract to Canadian Airline Jazz Air, They will operate flights to regular sun spots previously flown by Skyservice on behalf of Thomas Cook's Canadian Tour operators.

They are to lease upto 11 Boeing 757's from TCX and due to operate as Thomas Cook Airlines.

Excellent deal for the Thomas Cook group, check out TTG and you will see that their shares are highly regarded by City Investors as a great investment.

What do we think of the decision to remove IFE from TCX flights? (Short Haul ex. B767)

A sign of the time maybe, what are the costs involved, does anyone have any info?
