LGS6753 talks total sense. It was very difficult indeed for Thomas Cook to find anyone prepared to risk taking on what was an organisation on the point of collapse.
You have to remember these sort of people totally commit to the businesses they run. I used to work for such organisations and they literally live and breath the problems 24/7. It's a thankless task and live-changing for some because of the pressure.
From someone who had been out of work several times in the past I fully understand the problems of the 430 people who will lose their jobs. It could have easily have been the whole workforce only 3 or 4 months ago, so some perspective is needed by everyone to save the business.
