Your 'genuine concern' in this context is unwarranted
Thomas Cook are making cutbacks in response to the current situation - in common with all other well-managed operators. It would be worrying if they were not doing this.
JMC has people who take care of crew travel & accomodation. Fronting up to a ticket counter flashing the Co credit card is not the way it is done so it would be unsurprising if such a method was not accepted
Sledge - if your company is not taking similar care over its expenditure your genuine concern should be for your own job
