Easy answer to that one! Tim is commercially minded and understands how to manage capacity for tour operators! Clearly one of our competitors realised that as well. Being a good manager does not necessarily make you popular and he had his detractors. I for one feel he made an enormous contribution to the airline and has done a lot to ensure the airline gets back to what it was in the first place, the transport arm for those who really make or break us, the tour operators.
Lets not loose sight of the big picture, Mytravel is a tour operator that has an airline, not an Airline that has a number of tour operators. What happens in the airline is not as important as what happens in the tour operators, they make or loose money, without them there is no Airline. Tim understood that and drove the airline to meet the needs of the tour companies unlike DB who tried to make us into an Airline separate from the core business. So yes I am very sorry to see Tim go!
