Imho, is it really fair to compare Thomson with the likes of FR & EZY?
By this I mean that TOM is a Charter Tour Operator that provides package holidays which EZY and FR (Thank God) do not.
Surely as long as people want a package holiday, which I'm willing to bet would be a massive percentage of the UK population, TOM would be safe(ish) gamble.
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
