Thomas Cook Airlines/call sign
 

Can anyone tell me what the call sign is for the above airline. any and all replies, I thank you

It's 'Topjet', it was 'Globe' for a very short while don't know why they changed it.

I thank you. Can you tell me what a/c they use on the EDI-YYZ route?

I was told that they changed back to topjet because Globe is a brand of condom in some parts of Europe and it was causing some embarrasment :D

It will be a Boeing 757-200.

The call sign was changed from "Globe" to "TopJet" as a single syllable word is more difficult to communicate over the radio apparently.

The company held a comptetition and staff submitted names, with the directors choosing the best suggestion.

The aircraft on the EDI-YYZ route will either be G-FCLH, G-FCLJ or G-FCLK.

These are the 757's configured to 187 seats.

Cheers

:cool:

However, most greek and turk atc officers keep calling us "jetset", which is of course First Choice's callsign.

Oh well, who said life ain't confusing occasionally !

Anyone know the cause of today's 12 hour
delay on TCX's EDI-YYZ?

There was a 752 stranded in YYZ - LJ I think. Caused a lot of hassle for crews in YYZ, YUL and UK!!!!!

In the last two weeks of flying for TCX I have been called by varioys ATC units:

TopJet
Globe
Tango Charlie Xray
Thomas Cook
Jet Set
Condor

So as long as you listen out for all of those, I'm sure one of them will be us!!!!

Cheers

On the subject of call-signs, anyone enlighten me as to who 'Envoy' is. It was Airworld years ago (showing my age) but heard it again recently.

Cheers!

Envoy is Flyjet ;)
