The aircraft based operated the first DUB-CFU flight yesterday and after it returned it positioned to ACE where it was due to take the ACE-BFS flight to DUB and arrive at 02.10 this morning and a bus transfer to BFS to allow DUB schedules not to be affected today however the ACE departure at 22.45 last night was further delayed and was planned for 09.00 this morning. The LBA based aircraft positioned to DUB this morning and is operating PMI and LPA all be it with a 3 hour delay. I haven not checked if the ACE-BFS departed as planned this morning. These problems at DUB and BFS are fine this week as there are many positinibg flights this but mext week will be a different story.
If you BFS passengers I wouldn't worry to much as in previous years if the BFS aircraft is tech a lot hey will swap it with a DUB on Saturdays in PMI to protect BFS services but they don't care much for DUB flights. It will be another summer 2011 at DUB this year with weekly cancelled flights and replacement aircraft a from MAN sent to cover.
The reason is they have far more to lose at BFS if there operations suffer compared to DUB.
Do TOM have aircraft on standby this year like last?
EDIT- Just checked and the 09.00 dep from ACE this morning is now estimated for 21.10 tonight. So if it operates LBA will return to normal tomorrow

Yes TOM1679 was Cancelled to take the pax back to BFS from ACE. FYLC positioned over to ACE from LPA. It has now departed ACE for BFS. 
FYUH has left ACE as well. It's positioning to LBA as TOM1679F.
FLZR was based in LBA but had to position to DUB this morning to operate Thomson's flights from there. An a/c had to position from MAN to LBA to operate the delayed TOM3618 (LBA-PMI).
FYLC was based in DUB but positioned to BFS yesterday to operate TOM1568 (BFS-TFS). It is still based in BFS.

I was reading above that some problems have arisen with G-TUIA that may delay delivery so I was referring to that.
G-TUIC is airborne today for her first flight as BOE319 left KPAE at 23:00 UK time for a flight to Grant

- London Gatwick to Palma (Majorca) TOM4600
- Palma (Majorca) to London Gatwick TOM4601
- London Gatwick to Rhodes TOM4660
- Rhodes to London Gatwick TOM4661
Can I ask if you know is this information still accurate, i.e. that the 787 will operate these flights?
Thanks,

Well, according to the Boeing 787 tracking blog G-TUIA is still ready for delivery, and this blog is updated automatically every 5 minutes.

Hi,
So has anyone actually got a schedule for TOM's 787 short haul flights/can you actually specifically book them?
I would definately be interested.
Thank you
EDIT: Sorry, sorry, just seen MickeyMoo's post, however if anyone has any more information I'm sure many will be very grateful

at th moment schedules for 787 on s/haul quite random ex man/lgw but once all 4 a/c in service it will be more regular for remainder of season, as far as I am aware they are not planning to advertise which flights for remainder of summer but that could change! the flights planned so far are all replacing rotations planned on 757 which will act as stby for rest of fleet so capped at max 221 pax.
