I cannot see TUI wanting a merger unless on terms so beneficial that it would be a non-starter anyway; for that matter would the prospect of a State holiday company be accepted by the powers that be ? Competition is a good thing and I expect that TC will indeed survive although in a very different form than that which exists at the moment. TUI will be a winner to some extent insomuch that they will pick up additional custom on the high street and they may well fly more TC customers on certain routes than they do already.
Old mates in TC - I have no desire to see them out of a job
