"Don't know why the boses have been getting millions in bonuses all this time. Fuckin disgusting "
Totally agree . . , but its pleasing to know if they took share options for the bonus's those shares are now worth diddly squat. |

Loads of company’s cashing in on the free advertising that comes with “helping those affected” yeah ok 
The companies saying they have job positions etc aye what about the average joe that’s been out of work for last 18months where their job offers or the jobs that shit they canny get anyone to take the job on  call my miss cynical |

I would be very surprised if any of them given the choice took share options as they must have known for a long time that the company would eventually go down the tubes.

I suppose Most things aren’t to do with luck but we still wish people good luck. If sitting an exam and you have studied enough generally you should pass but people still wish you good luck.
With the Thomas cook situation people will get refunded if they are covers by atol and whenever the processes allow but it's still nice to be supportive and wish someone luck meaning you hope things go smoothly and quickly so they can rearrange trips. |

"Saw a story on bbc news and a pilot moaned he won't be getting his £12,000 wage this month. We need to chip in and help the wee soul out. "
That’s quite high even for a pilot. Unless it’s gross. |

My friend and I were repatriated yesterday from Tunisia. No real hassles, slight flight delay and redirected via Gatwick back to Scotland. Can’t praise the UK government staff enough. Kept us informed throughout journey home. Well done all involved xx |

We had booked package holiday to Tunisia in March/April. Thankfully had only paid one deposit of £400 out of £900, so will get that back.
Decided to rebook and the agent (Brilliant Travel) have been so good with communications etc and we’re now going to Cyprus instead.

Glad you managed to get rebooked too.
The travel agent I was booked with were great they let me cancel the hotel free of charge and got me a full refund in three days.
As a goodwill gesture they offered me £50 off another holiday if I booked one with them before the 31st Oct . |

Watchdog & money matters have all the info on this & links to claim money back.
Flight + hotels bookings are covered by atol.
If paid by credit card, even a deposit, the credit card company are liable to pay back the full cost of the holiday. And flights only booking are protected this way too.
Visa debit cards usually too.
Direct debits, you could speak to the bank if it was flights only. Although these are not usually protected they may accommodate.
Thomas Cook have been bought over by a rival with some shops opening back up, employment offers have went out to many Thomas Cook employees.
