I don't think you can attribute this administration wholly to Brexit but what is scary is the sheer numbers of other workers that will face similar redundancy threats should we crash out, I fear.

If it wasn't for this brexit uncertainty they wouldve been bailed I think. Thing is why was the onus in the govt to get them home? Travel agents such as tc are ABTA and ATOL protected so the holiday is insured against this when you book?...

I hope this ruins Danielle’s next little girlie holiday

My understanding is they overstretched themselves with purchases and never recovered from that
Is this correct, Arista our man in the City?

Yes they bought many small companies,
kept expanding
and had a Massive debt building up.

Thomas Cook should have got smaller
not bigger.


Some are locked in the gates of a Hotel
with Coaches outside. (Tunisia)
That is terrible.

Funding for that Hotel is Locked Up
until all is looked into.

Top executives were getting bonuses while the company was struggling
This sort of thievery has to stop

Ah who cares, they are all old fuddy duddies who voted leave.

...holiday makers are being thrown out of hotel rooms, but they obviously don’t know when they’ll get a flight home atm...there will be huge salary losses for the holiday makers as well, when they can’t get back to work and are going to have to take unpaid leave, I would think...:sad:..

Yes I agree its Sad.

But his massive Debt the CEO
should have cut the company down
making it smaller.

A hedge fund made over 200 million from the demise of Thomas Cook. Contributors to that hedge fund were in a position to engineer the extra capital requirements forced on Thomas Cook. If people are looking for someone to blame, i would point them firmly in that direction.

Beso 23-09-2019 08:41 PM

What I can't understand Is that there are 150 thousand brits to bring back...and it's quiet season.....
Imagine the numbers in July and August. ..


Where the hell has all that cash gone...

Its pretty incredible that an iconic company of this size has gone bust, the management should be called to account for how this could happen

it was the height of incompetence in management. Yes, the terror attacks had a massive impact, but the Tunisia incident was years ago now. If a company can't re-organise to deal with something like that, they don't deserve to be in business
