Bad news for passengers.

As for the serial complainers; the only point I would add is that a good chunk of complainers vent their anger because of lack of support in the event of such ‘circumstances’ rather than the circumstances themselves. Combine this with stress levels, congestion, deadlines, missed meetings, late holidays etc, it can lead to a lot of tension.

Just hope the airline is doing all it can to support the stranded pax.

Interesting, though not surprising.

I expect the order to be a mix of 737NGs and 787s (couldn’t be anything else really) with the 738 and possibly 739 being the aircraft to replace existing 757-200’s in the U.K.

Disappointing that even the Thomson name will go, but again not exactly a surprise.

Business has little room for sentimentality…unfortunately.

Do we know what the first aircraft will be?

733/4/6/7/8?

To be honest if Thomsonfly drop LBA they SHOULD drop MME.

And on what business knowledge do you base this latest remark on? Thank goodness, you’re not running our airlines Tommy (or anything else for that matter).
