How cheap is it to 'sufle' a plane????

typical big business, waste money on things that dont need change, but things that do.... oh we cant afford that in this years budget... a pay rise???? , not just airlines that do it..

Thomson Airways!

Well as for crew earlier this year we were all asked at our sales conference to come up with a new name for our airline! The cabin crew came up with some fantastic names and ideas for the way forward.
Obviously they didnt listen to our ideas!....AGAIN

Hmmmm of course it's still a merger, not a take over in any way . Try and convince any FC staff from both airline and retail of that though.
Tui Travel, Thomson Airways...will anything pink remain, who knows?

BYlad surely you know by now where all the good ideas in TUI come from and no it isn't our senior management! It is of course Contractors/Consultants call them what you like but the big cheeses can't make a decision without them! I wonder how many focus groups, corporate away days it took to come up with Thomson Airways? Give it 18 months and some brand name guru will come up with...wait for it...Britannia Airways


Thanks for your reply! Yes i do know where all the ideas come from, thats why they never stay in their positions long enough!
Ive been with this company for some years now and cannot believe how many paint jobs, name changes etc and how we can drop Britannia after years of success! And its the passengers i feel sorry for we gave them
everything and there experience with us was an enjoyable one!

Dont much care anymore! Im off taking severance

EURAVIA.......ORION......

don't call it Britannia.....we're a long way from the quality and class that BY was.....

I think people are being a little blinkered....whilst the UK airline has the Thomson name, at least 50% of the management of the airline are ex FCA and a similar percentage of UK Tour Ops and the majority of Head Office people are FC PLC, so actually TT PLC is really controlled by ex FC PLC senior management....

Are any of the A320's painted in full TUI / TOM livery? I have not seen any yet and am curious as to whether they will bother...

Shame...hearing a Jetset over the Med reminds me of the reasons why I always wanted to fly.
Strange, it always reminds me that it's the middle of the night and I am 5 hours from away from my bed!.

What was wrong with BRITS FLY FIRST MY SON?

Fits right in with the cheeky chappy, Europhobe, shellsuited image of the punters.
