Does this mean that as JMC flight deck, our jobs are at risk?? (Bottom 100 on the seniority list.) 
Also the CEO's briefing stated that we were trying to "better utilise aircraft and hotel capabilities." Not sure if that means grounding some or not.

Your 'genuine concern' in this context is unwarranted
Thomas Cook are making cutbacks in response to the current situation - in common with all other well-managed operators. It would be worrying if they were not doing this.
JMC has people who take care of crew travel & accomodation. Fronting up to a ticket counter flashing the Co credit card is not the way it is done so it would be unsurprising if such a method was not accepted
Sledge - if your company is not taking similar care over its expenditure your genuine concern should be for your own job

I was told yesterday by a JMC crew that they had received a company fax(whilst overseas) in which they were informed that aircraft total fleet number was to be reduced by 20%. The crew, needless to say, were devastated.
I did not see the fax so cannot confirm.

I doubt it very much.
Your post may be true in coming days and months, but companies have to CONSULT now................
Your post does you no credit whatever.

Is it true that the eight or ten A320’s that were going to the USA are now not going and the ones that were going to City Bird are now not going? Understand from a friend at JMC that Garuda now do not want the A330? Sounds like a lot of aircraft with no work for the winter?

Rolling Stone,
Citybird is still on. 2 aircraft already there operating.2 gone to the states as well. All looks O.K. at the moment for the sub-charters. However situation seems to change daily. The Citybird is now rumoured to be for three years non stop!!
All should be O.K. as long as the great british free press will stop inciting fear of flying and talking the general consumer population into starting a recession. It appears the media is controlling the economy at the end of the day, not the goverment!!!
I AM UPPER CLASS SO IT WON'T AFFECT ME ANYWAY

Absolutely true Desk Driver. I'm not an economist, but I always thought recession was brought on by high mortgage rates, enemployment and the like. These things amount to people having less money, hence recession.Is this right?
The bl@@dy media are talking the country into a recession and risking my job during the process, thankyou very much!!!
Mortgage rates have never been lower in my memory, so people have never been so well off. Unemployment generally is also very low.
Could somebody please, please, explain to me why the media is fuelling the country into recession and why the hell are they being allowed to do it. They are actually helping the terrorist's aims by destabilising, what in my memory, is the most stable economy we've had for years!!It is really pi$$ing me off.
Rolling Stone:- Just to clarify, I was referring to JMC carrying on Citybirds flights with the 320 sub-charters. Sorry if I mislead.

A lot of the Pilots towards the bottom of JMC are wobbling because they have been making telephone calls to UK Carriers that are planning to recruit next year
In the normal case of closure or redundancy, dsiplaced staff find jobs in other airlines quickly. Clearly this time that is not going to be the case so everyone is hoping they don't get the dreaded telecon or letter, myself included...
