ABTN seem to be speculating that BY will be the next 787 customer. Also reporting 757 upgrade.http://www.abtn.co.uk/
If BY have the finances, it would make sense. They compete with TCX, who already ordered.

FCA not TCX have ordered the B787. TUI Group should have the finances - perhaps a joint order with Hapag Lloyd or other group member?

Yuck, imagine that! Thomsonfly.com livery on a 787!
Here's something I prepared earlier... about 5 months ago :)

I decided not to bother. It looks bad enough

I dont mind that livery on the 787.... I must be finally losing my marbles!
The 787 would make perfect sense for Tom Fly, hope I get an upgraded 757 in the summer :)

Wobder if they'll go for that horrific mood lighting onboard like the "new" FCA 763's.
A sky blue lit interior is bound to be more soothing than the red light district created on those FCA 763's if the promo pics are anything to go by.
Wonder if Thomson 787's will get PTVs. You would think they would need to.
There was also chat of Britannia getting more 737's back ( apart from those which may be operating this summer from Britannia SE.)

I like it, do any of you know if Lufthansa has any plans to get the 787?
All we have are rumours. Thos rumours are two fold
The Airbus camp (and I mean fans) say LH won't get the 787 due to it not having a side stick.
The Boeing camp (again I mean fans) say that is nonsense as whether or not the plane has a side stick is not the biggest factor in purchasing aircraft. But the Boeing camp largely admit the A350 might well win out.
My view..... its 50/50 realy. If LH are looking for A300 replacements... the 787 is what there need. The a350 is targetted more at long range.
