First Choice Airline action at Manchester. For you UK residents how does this airline rate amongst the other hoiday carriers?

Please leave a comment or two if you wish...Darryl

First Choice merged with Thomson, the renamed merged airline (Thomson Airways) is rated as one of the best in Europe, having won a lot of awards for punctuality and customer service. I've done a bit of work for them, producing SOP manuals and such, their crew standards are pretty high, you can see that high standard from the calm way they handle this emergency:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KhZwsYtNDEIncidentally, if you fancy flying in a good thunderstorm, load up real weather at EGCC a bit later today, because at the moment it is like the tropics here, so there's sure to be a pretty wild storm later on.Al

Man, great shots! You are so lucky you can fly it!I bought that piece of garbage add on, and it is impossible to fly, especially to hand fly. Visual approaches are impossible, with full stick force and no deflection of control surfaces. The aircraft just climbs and descends on it's own. Then, at 100 ft it decides to magically work, but that's too late to salvage a landing. I fly jumpseat in A319/A320's almost weekly on 4 different American carriers, and the real plane never acts this retarded.I told this to Aerosoft, and they said "sorry, we do not have that problem, we can not help".Horrible product that looks absolutely incredible and horrible CS...I will never buy anything from Aerosoft again.

Hi,Sweet Looking Shots.

Not sure what is going on in your PFD/ND but sweet set nonetheless. :(

Hi!My brother always says that First Choice is his favorite airline to fly on. He doesn't like British Airways at all. I think he's biased because First Choice take him to Mexico and he loves Mexico! Anyway thanks for the post. I didn't know First Choice have Airbus narrowbodies. I don't think I've seen one at London Gatwick (my local airport).Many thanks,Pierre
