A result, I get a holiday, but only by doing the one thing I detest, I became a stroppy customer and it worked
Basically, the company never contacted me once throughout the proceedings, so I searched availability elsewhere (Birmingham, only another 150 miles roungd trip petrol money). Regular phonecalls were met with refusal to offer an alternative until finally they said yes. interestingly enough I learned another thing yesterday.... When they asked for £100 extra for the change of airport, same day/destination, I asked why. It was because Birmingham charge more than manchester for slots. £50 a passenger more!!
Shame on you Birmingham!! (my turn to be sarcastic Ballymoss)
So, what have I learned about myself and the fixed wing side of aviation??
Me, I stick with my principles as always and never work for this group. I am incapable of flexible thought..... The RAF really screwed up when they gave an idiot like me command of that Central Flying School Squadron. Tour companies cancel holidays and forget to tell the customers, this is not unique to MYT. WOW!!
Back to my original post that annoyed a lot of people. Will I book with this company again?? Will any of my extended family or friends?? Hmmmmmm... Can a company who treats people like this hope to survive and prosper??? Well, from the replies here, that behaviour is acceptable, so good luck people, I genuinely wish you all the best.
