Sorry to start a new thread just for this but we sincerely wish to thank the Captain and crew of TOM 2255 JTR - MAN 11th Sept.
My 87 yr old father was taken seriously ill on this flight. The Captain elected to continue to MAN which, as a former airline pilot, I consider to have been the right decision for many reasons. He managed to knock an hour off the flight so obviously my thanks also to ATC and Thomson for the fuel!
Furthermore a stewardess was kind enough to phone the hospital (Wythenshawe) yesterday to enquire after my father. My brother and I considered this a very nice and caring touch.
He appears to have had a stroke and is still in a serious condition but occasionally lucid so things are looking OK at the moment.
I did contact Thomson on the 12th via their contact form but have had no reply. Please could any Thompson cabin crew get this message to those involved.
If nothing else this was an excellent
PR exercise and shows the airline to be very caring and professional. Thank you again.
BTW he did have a nice holiday here with us – but I think that even if he recovers his flying days are over.
