Contradiction
The latest echo piece is interesting.
It appears to confirm that Thomson were pushed. That being the case, it would seem certain that the one-off charters, Jersey and Balkan will follow suit.
There appears a contradiction with the councillor who says the punters should have used them or risk losing them, as it seems Thomson would have been quite happy to continue. So, to blame the public in this case doesn't seem entirely fair.
Whilst I generally refrain from "bashing", I have to say I'm shocked the owners are letting all the negativity and comment come out first. Surely, in a major announcement like this, you would expect them to get on the front foot - tell the public what is happening and at least "try" and show there is a sense of purpose and direction to the plans, however difficult the message is. Instead, the public are fed rumours, snippets and the truth via the back door with nothing other than a "watch this space" from the owners. I am a Director in business and this is not the way you treat customers.
Interesting to see what the plans will be!
