I'm concerned that the tax payer is paying for flying all these people back home. Once again, we are letting corporations treat losses like they belong to everyone while profits do not. I'm getting sick of this benefits culture by UKPlc
The mandatory insurance on packaged tours will cover the cost for flying those folks back. For the flight only people that have been stranded in a foreign country then I hope the CAA is well up the line at the bankruptcy court as one of TC’s unpaid creditors, but I doubt it.
It is hard on the travelers with ruined holidays but even harder on the employees who are now out of a job. Last night I watched BBC Look North who had been to Newcastle Airport to interview some of those returning and they were so impressed that Thomas Cook staff had gone, unpaid, to the airport to help process the passengers.
