The fact that Thomson was late on practically every flight caused a lot of ill will especially from the people waiting in England to pick up the passengers, considering the flights were scheduled for 10 and 11 PM arrivals
There is a major difference between the 737 (Thompson) and A320 (Easyjet) in terms of clearing and loading luggage. On the A320 it should take 5 minutes to unload and another 5 to load.
The problem with TLV is security check every plane has to go though once cleared of pax and luggage and before loading. It is still possible within 50 minutes.
