Actually Danny, your behaviour fits very well with the definition of censorship. The Oxford English Dictionary specifies that it is the practice of suppressing certain material. And whilst shipping the Thomson thread straight off to a minor PPRuNe forum isn’t erasing it, it certainly is suppressing it. Especially when you let the MyTravel thread fester on the main PPRuNe forum for a month; and leave it titled ‘The End of MYT’ for a good period too.

Trying to blame PPRuNE for somehow directing the media and highlighting MYT's problems is pathetic
We’re not blaming PPRuNe for directing the media. We are blaming PPRuNe for telling whoever reads PPRuNe that MYT are going out of business. After that a-hole niteflite01’s original post, so many crew were ringing in to ask it they still had a job that we had to bring people in over the weekend to man phones and field their questions.

This thread is NOT about a major UK tour operator.
So because Thomson/Britannia are owned by Germans, it’s off limits for PPRuNe? Get real. MyTravel UK and TUI UK are both the UK arms of pan-national groups.

the people who make the real decisions are the banks and the major investors (the ones who make a difference)
The people who make the biggest difference are the potential customers. We’re not stupid enough to think that banking syndicates are influenced by inaccurate negative reporting, but the public definitely are. And if the public stop buying holidays from a tour operator then the end result is still as bad.

There’s no way MyTravel is going under.
