Once again, the MyTravel defensive cordon draws in
.
Bloody right we do. People employed by MYT have been through the mill over the last 3 years. Concern over whether the company was going to survive beyond the end of each month has taken its toll on a lot of very good people. What has really gripped a lot of people is the holier than thou preaching on this bulletin board. "Oh yes, MYT will be bust by the end of the week/month/season/year." (delete as appropriate). Well contrary to a lot of peoples expectations (or hopes in some cases ) the company has survived and would now appear to have a possibility of a future. The weight that this removes from peoples shoulders is immense, so please do not kick us when we are trying to get up.
As for your 4 rather childish points, nobody in MYT holds those sort of beliefs. All employees are just grateful that the worst is (hopefully) behind us. I can assure you that after the atrocious comments that have been voiced on this, and numerous other forms of media, MYT people will be the last to bad mouth other companies.

As for MYTs problems being down to bad media coverage, nobody in the company is saying that. What people are saying is that the comments in certain media outlets did damage the business. And what really hurts is that a lot of the comments were unfounded with little or no credibility, much like a lot of the comments on Pprune. But where's the apology? More chance of snow in the rain forest!
