I have been a user of Thomas cook for my last 4 holidays and for the trip i have already booked and paid for to Malta in June. I find them a excellent company to use for holidays and i hope they keep going. I feel sorry for those who are about to lose there jobs in these hard time and i wish them luck finding new positions.

One point i must make here is that there on line booking is so easy it has been something i expected to happen for a while. I booked my holiday to Malta on line and it took me about 30 minutes to do and that included the booking of my seats on the plane and completing the flight info details.

l think due to the tough economic conditions that the first thing people cut back on is their holidays l am afraid.

...and many of those who are going on holiday are booking it themselves directly for cheaper. I did use to work for Thomas Cook and they were a great company to work for but unfortunately times are changing.

Yes times are certainly changing and for many companies they have just not been nimble enough to adapt to a very quick changing market.
