I flew with Britannia once - and though people are saying some nice comments - it was the worst airline I had ever flew with (except from Ryanair) and never flew with them again. I know people won't agree with me but this is the honest truth i am afraid.
My dad used to take me to the airport when I was a kid and I remember all these airlines - Leisure UK, Air 2000, Britannia etc. Have flown on both Britannia and Air 2000 before (although it was Air 2000 with the multicoloured livery). Have flown on Thomson Airways once and am about to in a couple of weeks too. Good airline - would like a little more leg room though. :)
All I am going to say on this merger is that Thomson Airways is the creation of two BRILLIANT airlines - but why oh why did they take Britannia away from us???? Thats a name everyone knew and loved.
well if we, suck then dont fly with us, if our crew were rude, im sure they wouldent be any of us and if it wasent for us, you wouldnt have gone anywhere would you so do me a favor mate dont tell me how my crew and other workers are because you dont know anythink about us n get a life mate
Yes but your seat pitch sucked and i had to fly with fca but i would of rather of flown thomson but that was not avalible. Your crew are mostly fine but since i worked at Britannia Airways in the 1980's i have seen the crew's attitude go down! You always have to get a complaint you know. But thats why i like how FCA has gone and thomson airways has become the greatest. Go Thomson.
Well i work for Thomson, or TUI UK RETAIL LTD as we are now since THE MERGE, yes the merge that happened a while ago now, thomson and first choice will remain independant and will look the same on the high street, and as for airline, it is now going to be THOMSON AIRWAYS, there will be no more pink ladies, and the uniform and aircraft are set to change in 2010. 52% of TUI UK RETAIL LTD is owned by Thomson. :)
Best company ive ever worked for, and gizus1, dont tar us all with the same brush!!
we booked a 2 week villa holiday with thomson, they failed to tell us a villa was being built next door, we had no apology and thomson would not admit they were in the wrong, i only hope all thomson staff spend £1000s on a holiday and have 2 weeks of hell, then they would become human and not just have customers money off them then the customer turns into shit and is to be treated so, never again!!!
im a pilot for first choice airways an i have to say, you did well at finding this info out n i can assure you thta first choice has no partenership with thomson fly and propz will never be a partener
ok then so why does all FCA aircraft have "operating for thomson fly" wrote in a blue box near the rear doors? and why are there news areticles on the web saying that it is taking place?
wen i was flyin wid fca 52 to montego bay (god help me it was shit) but ye the only fit cabin crew lady sed that they were mergin to creat thomson airways, shit name but anyway lol. air 2000 wer well beta and thomas cook is gr8 :D
Are you going to take that comment back? If you are a pilot for FCA you will now be flying ThomsonFly aircraft so you quite clearly are NOT a pilot for FCA! Plus you need to read a dictionary and learn how to spell.
Well i was on a First Choice Aircraft flying to Lapland and there was a sticker saying it was operated by thomson airways. First choice sucked anyway so i love the idea of thomson taking over FCA. FCA seat pitc sucks and their crew are rude!
If I was thompson or FCA staff i would Just hope it does not turn out like the TWA/AA merger viasco over in america look what happend there one side against the other which lead to all TWA staff being banished from AA. Could happen and you may not end up to be the one big happy family that this video plays it out to be. sorry to sound negative.
why is eve airline changing to tui i love first choices colours but apaarently all the first choice crew are going to have to wear lime green uniforms
If you work for the airlines get over it we all know it will happen we can stam scream and kick. Bottom line is No we dont want it to happen but we will adapt to it as we like what we do. We done it before and can do it again...
