Why is everyone slagging a sensible idea?
Exactly.
I am only watching this from afar and am not involved, but understand that the British government outlaid something like GBP100 million on
predominantly foreign aircraft to effect the recovery of Thomas Cook passengers. That must add insult to injury for the Thomas Cook staff.
If the money was used to fund the operation of Thomas Cook aircraft during the recovery, at least a greater proportion would stay in the UK economy.
