So you are informed by independent travel agents you deal with ? Haha. Jeez

How about looking at real figures released by the airlines instead of speaking to Doris in your local shop, which I still believe you didn’t, it’s bollocks and you are on a wind up.

You say TV adverts are so last century, I think you will find a Tui and Jet2 also advertise far more on social media than TCG. Going back to the TV advert, the Jess Glynn song, annoying as it may be is great for Jet2 branding. If most people hear that song they think of Jet2, it makes them think of a holiday and no doubt Jet2 will then be the first place they look.
TCG have a memorable slogan from years ago but who says it anymore. In resort check in, something that rivals have offered for years, only now TCG decide to jump on the band wagon, its probably too late as those customers are now gone and extremely happy with their new company. They seriously need to invest in their marketing department and have a complete clear out as I would say this is one of the reasons that TCG have been left behind and lost so much business to Jet2 a lesser extent Tui.

I think the hot weather was an unwarranted excuse. If the weather was a valid reason, then it would have affected Jet2 and Tui, which it didn't.

Is this enough ?

This is out today.... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/ryanair-named-worst-short-haul-airline-for-sixth-year-in-a-row-according-to-survey-11599298

Thomas Cook in the bottom few once again. I don't understand why they can't better the customer experience and get rid of the bad reputation they have with passengers. Maybe with all of the U.K. Short haul Ops now on G registered aircraft (I didn't know this was compete) things will get better.
The problem with the long haul network is that passengers will pay more for exactly the same holiday to fly with Tui as you will be flying on the 787 Dreamliner, something I have done for my next trip. It's a massive selling point as 11 hours on a 787 is a far more pleasurable experience than on an A330, as much as I love the A330.

If TCG can keep reasonable bookings for 2019 ( this won't be known until much further ahead) then I think lots of work is required to stop passengers jumping ship which is already happening.

In regards Brexit, Thomas Cook could be badly affected, which may be no bad thing as the short haul airline could be something they decide to offload for cost saving. Most of their short haul aircraft are flying under LY register and that could pose a problem as you will a non G registered aircraft based in the UK which may not be allowed.
There was a comment that Jet2 could be badly affected, it's quite the opposite. As Jet2 fly mostly G registered aircraft based in the Uk and are flown by pilots who have UK licenses there should be no issues whatsoever as only the 4th freedom of the air is required. Ryanair could be affected unless they set an AOC in the UK which has so far been unsuccessful. At the minute the companies that are safe from Brexit in the UK are TUI, Jet2, British Airways, Easyjet, Virgin, Flybe plus a smaller entities, although I have no doubt a deal will be reached to keep things moving for most airlines.

dflynch...I am in agreement, this guy clearly on a wind up. Anyone who suggested buying tcg shares in the current climate has to be, I am sure they are down about 30% since the guy first posted to buy them. Filtered and blocked

1a) How were they flowering anything up? The figures were real, they are the actual results and the profit warning was very clear. Dart will still be making a massive yearly profit with an increase on last year come the year end results. 2a) I am not sure anyone would be willing to come in, wipe out over a billion pounds of debt into a company making a loss the size of TCG. 3a) where does the control statement come from ? It’s a well informed decision. They will struggle to keep the airline going for another 18 months. Jet2 aren’t losing customers, this is a myth made up by you. They are increasing capacity for summer 2019 and winter 19/20. There hasn’t been any ‘buttering up’, just real facts and real results. I sincerely hope we still have Thomas Cook aircraft flying in 18 months time and those thousands of people keep their jobs, but even the crews don’t believe there will be an airline in the future. Your last comment was about a holder selling off, have you actually compared the share prices of each company over the last 6-12 months ?

Dart posted an unbelievable half year report, the profit warning was due to expansion which short term. TCG are on the brink, another summer of 'hot weather' (although it didn't seem to affect Jet2.com) and TCG are done and dusted. You say that TCG will take Jet2 customers ?? The facts show that people are avoiding flying with Thomas Cook in mass. They have the long haul that Jet2 don't have (yet) but they lease their aircraft from air tanker and there European network is run by an Eastern European outfit that haven't had the best safety record. Enjoy your TCG holding that is down maybe 8% since you posted the b*llocks. I will give them 18 months before they finish the airline

What a load of nonsense. Jet2 bookings aren't dwindling, they are increasing. To suggest that you should sell Dart and buy TCG is madness. It's been a well known fact for a long time now that TCG are most likely to be the next airline to go. What did you say on Tuesday....TCG bashing is over ??? You are that wrong I think you could be on a wind up

Avoid ?

Jet2 have just about the best punctuality record going, they very rarely cancel flights compared to other airlines, they are voted top airline to fly with in most surveys (which? Etc) and have an exemplary safety record.
I imagine you got to your destination safely with a pretty insignificant delay ? You can't really blame the airline for someone's car breaking down or a tyre deflating that needs changing. They will have got the passengers on board so as soon as the First Officer arrived you were ready to leave, when the tyre issue came to light they may have had to take you all off as it isn't safe to jack the plane up and change a tyre with a full load of passengers.

Didn't see that RNS. So it's a share dilution and individual share value is the same ? I'm not a holder here by the way, just interested

It's a mistake, it's up nearly 2% I think

I can't actually believe the price has dropped. If anything Greggs is one company that shouldn't be affected by Brexit and a safe haven for investors

Very odd the share price here. Great results last week and it has dropped from £1.50 down to £1.34. Kier have massive potential and I can't believe the price, should be up near £2.00 !

519,311 😫

Goldman Sachs are purchasing the shares for Ashley who looks like he's raising the money for his Rangers FC bid. I think the drop yesterday was way over done and should recover pretty quickly
