Would love Thomson to do Las vegas with the 787, so much better than the miserable experience with american flying back with them, looking at Thomas Cook for next year but will they still be around?

So, for now at least, this rumour will go the same way.

It is only a rumour but they have operated from Liverpool in the past and the flights were quite successful. Also with easyJet and Ryanair fairly static they may see some oppurtunities and gaps that could be filled and with the lack of charter/holiday flights from Liverpool it could be profitable.

..and why would they even consider operating into an airport just 30 miles away from their major base at MAN at a time where APD continues to hurt and we are in the middle of a crippling double dip recession ??
It's not a rumour; it's pure fantasy.

The problem with enthusiast and spotter forums is that when a carrier reduces or pulls out, people start wildly speculating over who is going to jump in and exploit all these apparent niches and pots of gold just waiting to be taken up.
So it is in the case of LPL.
If there were to be a single grain of possibility in what has been rumoured over the past 12 months WRT LPL, they would now have Thomson, Jet2, Monarch, Air France and Lufthansa all reaping those fantastic rewards.
Some temperance is needed, and when a rumour with no base is just that, it has to be called.

Re the 767's - I am Cabin Crew for Thomson and have been to Cancun twice in the last month and going again on Saturday more often than not they have been on the ex blue 767's.
As for it being unfair to pay for leg room on the long haul aircraft doing short haul - if you don't want to don't..... I personally do because I like more space not because I am unhappy with the offerings!
As for LPL opening - that is ridiculous - the company is going through a cost saving exercise to save millions of pounds and the crew at the minute are putting in for voluntary redundancy and reducing hours on contracts....
