Hey,
I have been reading this topic the last couple of days. Firstly I must say, from personal experience, that MYT is one of the best (charter) airlines I have flown with (Air 2000 a close second), and I really do not want them to go down the ****
That said, I read the new paper the other day with an article about MYT and I ripped it up with disgust, I can't believe people buy the c**p. It will be a sad day if MYT go down the drain. It will almost be like losing BCAL
I don't think it will though. MYT have the quality of service, and the prices to suit. I am confident that MYT will pull through.
Regards,
Matthew

Lost luggage, I'm afraid I could not dissagree with you more.
In my experience with Airtours/MyTravel all the crews, Flight Deck, Cabin crews, reps in resorts and check in / ticketing have all been very professional and very helpful.
I hope all goes well for them and they pull through this mess.
Nobody needs a P45 right now, thats for sure.

Lost luggage. Why don't you take your spiteful cr@p somewhere else. MYT is not perfect, but try thinking for one minute about the 27000 employees, along with thousands of others that work for the support companies. Let's name a few. Servisair, Gate Gourmet, Alpha, Shell, BP, InEuropa, Hallmark Cars, NATS, Airline Services, Selwyns, FLS, British Airways. The list is endless. You may well have a problem with MYT, but they have many satisfied customers that book year after year. In the unlikely event it folds, our families are all affected.

Just ocassionaly someone comes along into a thread like this who hasn't got the first idea of what they are talking about. You are it. Congratulations!
There wasn't and isn't anything wrong with Airtours/MYT - that isn't also wrong with other operators. Indeed, they are among the best. All the faults you describe can be ascribed to many airlines. Why are you picking on Airtours? What is YOUR problem? Who smacked your hand?
Get off your high horse and take a moment to reflect the bitterness in your post. It is not needed and is upsetting to good honest people.
I would suggest that you delete it. I suspect that if you don't one of the mods will. It is tasteless and uneccessary at such a stressful time for the good people of MYT.

Sorry, but it's not just the luggage you've lost. There's no credibility to your post.
MYT staff do NOT deserve to lose their jobs - and that's not just from the humanitarian point of view.
I cannot stand by and let someone make these types of comments when I have direct experience of the professionalism of the flight and cabin crew, as well as the support teams at Parkway MAN.
You're entitled to your view, but I suggest you do not malign hardworking professionals that dedicate their effort to the well-being of their customers.
I earnestly hope that you now reconsider how you expressed your point of view and agree with me that an apology is warranted in this case.

I have been in the aviation industry for the past 27 years and have never wished for an airline to go bust (or any other industry for that matter. I am an engineer that works for another charter airline in direct competition with My Travel. ‘Airtours’ have a very professional and dedicated workforce just like our airline and I simply want to wish all staff within the My Travel organisation the very best of luck – You All Deserve It.
I found the comments of Lost_luggage34 insulting and pathetically sick. I for one wish you ‘Flights From Hell’ for the rest of your sad little miserable existence.
ALL THE VERY BEST TO MY TRAVEL STAFF.

Don't let him wind you up!!
Its quite obvious that he is a sad lonely individual with a very small manhood and an incredibly boring, dull job (network consultant, booooooooooooooring!!!).
He must have aspirations to be Flight Deck, but probably can't cut the mustard, what does the '34' stand for? Your IQ I'll bet!!
Ahhhhh, that feels better!

What can I say that has not already been said! If I were you I would slink off to a quiet corner and consider your words. If you have a shred of decency you will retract your comments and apologise to all on this forum.
I have never seen such a post on this forum and hope I never see another.

Hey,
Indeed very thoughtless and tasteless and not needed for those who work at MYT! I feel the services offered by MYT are excellent and facilities at some airports which enable early check-in (e.g Glasgow EGPF) are quite excellent and not offered by any other charter airline to my knowledge. The flightcrew are very nice, everyone at MYT is professional, and to be quite honest extremely hard-working as at other airlines...
I am aware it's a very serious situation which is why I won't comment further because I will be the first one to admit I am not 110% in the know, and giving a comment based up fragmented information isn't right. So all the best to MYT again, hopefully I will be flying with you next year.......

For **** sake wake up people !!!
There's more chance of My Travel going bust than you (yes you) winning the lottery !!
Worst case scenario would be a hostile.
p.s. remember 9/11 aftermath ? That was REAL and it can't ever get any worse than that ! This is nothing more than accountants covering their six o'clock.

Nice name by the way! Sorry to be a bit slow but I am not sure from your last if you rekon MYT is going bust or not?
It can get much worse than post 9/11 and did only ten or so years ago. However; if I were a betting man I would have to say MYT will still be around this time next year, smaller and perhaps under new ownership but still here.

I have already apologised to one poster on this thread via PM.
I apologise to the rest of you. In retrospect my comments and posting were very mis-judged. Out of decency I have removed the post. I do feel however, that some of the comments made have been overley harsh and too personal. I don't think there is a need for that.
I was simply expressing an opinion - one from personal experience with Airtours over many years. Is that not what this forum is for ?
Can we now move on ?

I think that would be agreeable. Apologies were needed, and now they have been made there is no more justification to chatise you.
Well done.
Back to the topic then. The seemingly most vociferous of the daily's - The Mail - has nothing to say on the subject of MYT today. No news is good news. But hope there is good news to come.

It does - at least in the North West edition.
" The Financial Reporting Council launched a review of holiday
group My Travel ( 17.25p, up 1.25p ), which is facing accounting
black holes "
At least the column inches regarding MYT are reducing.

I think everyone is losing interest in the story at the moment!
Out of interest Thomas Cook and the others, who stopped selling our holidays are having a change of heart it appears. They at no time took all our brands off the shelf anyway, just the MYT and Airtours holidays. As I said before, cynical but to be expected, I have no doubt we would have done the same.
I also hope for better news soon!
Lost-luggage34 thanks for the apology.
