glasgow TCX operations
I noticed that TCX have a 332 based at GLW which arrived from Cancun this morning which goes out as TCX035K to Puerta Plata.Is this aircraft based the entire week in Glasgow or is it rotated with other bases ? What is the registration number of this aircraft if it is based for the summer season?
|
I think it's full time based I remember reading?
The A/c will not always be the same Reg thou due to Maintanence or A/c Change over etc. |
G-MDBD is at GLA currently
|
The Glasgow A330 operates the following.
Monday - Cancun Tuesday - Puerto Plata Wednesday - Vancouver (Calgary part of season) Thursay - Sanford Friday - ? Saturday - Sanford Sunday - Dalaman |
Thomas Cook owner may need state aid. - Doesn't read well
BBC NEWS | Business | Thomas Cook owner needs state aid |

Roy Hudd, why so rude?
So Thomas Cook are unlikely to become insolvent due to its majority shareholder becoming insolvent.......however no matter how profitable Thomas Cook is there will be some uncertanty IF competitors use the situation for a takover bid for example. It really depends on who or what or how any administrators offload the Thomas Cook stock. |
Read the article before commenting, if you can read English. A Thomas Cook spokeswoman said it was "completely ring-fenced" from Arcandor. |
Think before posting!
Pray tell, what would the administrators choose to do with a highly profitable corporate entity?
I do not wish to sound impolite, but am mighty fed up with continued scare-mongering about one of the few successful and profitable holiday companies in the UK. (Of which an airline is a key component). It is all too easy to put down one-liners insinuating financial trouble for a successful company. Ill-conceived suggestions like this can lead to reactions which damge companies and ultimately cause unnecessary job losses. Please be sensible when writing copy such as that above, which can be wrongly construed as serious. |
Seat pitch
Can anyone tell me the seat pitch on TCX flights, as I'am using their Lanzarote service shortly, I usally use Easyjet and I'am quite happy with their legroom. TIA

The story about Arcandor has been in the print media for some time (Broadsheet finance pages ) as the company has been in trouble for a long time. It overexposed itself buying big. Thomas Cook is a big part, Arcandor hold 52% of the shares and will probably get help, of some sort, from the German Government.
TC however is a well funded and viable ongoing concern. Even if the worst came to the worst (which I doubt) this company would continue without interruption. In the UK its part of a duopoly with Tui...for God`s sake who wouldnt buy into that. TC will continue.. |
757 seat pitch!
If its the 757 your flying on, dont bother its very tight! minimum 28in and the most uncomfortable flight ive ever had to Eygpt last year! :uhoh:
|
At the time of working for MYT when the 'merge' went ahead, I said that Tui would buy TC within 5 years. That was May 2007, only 3 years left to go. I wonder what odds the bookies would give?
|
The EC would never allow a merger of TUI & Thomas Cook.
TC are safe, there will be plenty of companies waiting in the wings to buy our Arcandors stake if it comes to it. Kuoni springs to mind. |
TUI and Thomas Cook merger would be like Coca Cola and Pepsi merging in Europe. It would be a HUGE monopoly on the charter market and the EC would say no to this more quickly that a AF/KL/LH merger...

True, But don't forget SSH is just that little bit further to travel than RHO and some flights can go upto 5 1/2 even 6 hours depending on routing/wx etc.
Not been able to overfly Libya makes the flight longer. |
TCX seat pitch
The seat pitch is what you get on your average charter flight. You get what you pay for. I am over 6ft and found it comfotable for the 4.5 hr flight to Rhodes. Remember flying on the A330 a few yrs ago & had trouble fitting in the seats (damaged the pocket rivets on my levi's) and could not bend forward enough to be able to pick up my pen from the floor. was one of the most uncomfortable flights i've every had, even the flight back from RAF Stanley on a full Herc, knee's interlinked with the guy across the aisle was better that this!!!:hmm::hmm: |
Thanks for the replies, I do have concerns over leg room, having read reviews elsewere, although airline seat info from seat guru give 30" pitch which I'am quite happy with,that's if this info is correct which I'am begining to doubt given the amount of complaints.
