We can blow smoke up TUIs rear end all we like, the fact is 25% of their capacity is/was 3rd party which can be cut at a moments notice. If this wasn’t the case, don’t be fooled into thinking TUI would not have made redundancies.
I’m ex-TUI and look back fondly at my times there, but let’s not fool ourselves that they’ve avoided redundancies to be nice. Let’s not forget Project Transformation just a few years ago. It’s just happened to work out well there for both parties.
Airline management are the same everywhere, greedy and in it for themselves.
