TC Staff, so sorry for them all

My friend’s lovely son, Shane, was aircrew on the very last flight from Orlando that landed not long ago. He and all the rest of the staff are gutted, it’s taken him years to find a job he loved.
I really hope he and the other TC staff can find suitable replacement work soon. Desperately sorry for all the staff, who have lost the most from all this, and all the affected holidaymakers.

We often DIY and book flight only and have done so with TC before, using bank account rather than credit card and didn’t think twice about it at the time. Would never do that now.

I think some of the hotel owners may have a different view point to this.

Its not good for anyone who had a financial link to the company and the impacts which follow.

It's very sad,my husband has just been for his paper in our village,a young Mum who worked for TC for years is stood outside the paper shop crying her eyes out. Awful news for all the staff and for all who were due to go away soon.

My sister worked as cabin crew for TC a few years ago so knows a few people affected by this.

One of her best friends who is still CC for TC found out she was made redundant this morning after landing when all of the planes were seized. Awful situation.

Yes, there’s a video filmed on Shane’s flight on Twitter (a lot of news agencies are asking to use it) with all the passengers saying “Good luck Thomas Cook”, but they wouldn’t have known until they landed that it was all over 😢

I feel sorry for all caught up on this . I’ve read some awful comments this morning regarding blame etc which is very sad indeed as a lot of families either employed by TC or holidaying with are affected .

I too feel sorry for the Staff - It's sad times when a household name like Thomas Cook go under - they were the ones who fetched us home after Travel City went under a few years back

It appears some TC staff are still going into their stores today to help customers. This will be voluntarily and without any pay.
