Thomas Cook goes bankrupt, initiates insolvency proceedings

[Glumbi]

Hi,

Unfortunately, I'm currently ill, so I'm not there that much, but I don't want to miss the opportunity to briefly address the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook.


I read about it yesterday and was surprised, I never expected it. Condor and Neckermann Reisen etc. are attached to it, it is hard to imagine that they will all disappear.

It's really tough in the travel market, you can hardly be sure that the trip will go as planned, no matter where or with whom you book. When you read that Brexit in the UK also contributed to this, you start to wonder whether it all had to happen that way.

I've read that too, madness I wouldn't have expected that something like that could be.

I would never have thought of the group when it came to bankruptcy, was very surprised. Now chaos is everywhere, let's see how this develops. And then again the reports that the boss of the group collects a million severance pay, if that's the case, it's awesome.

It's the usual procedure that bosses and managers fill their pockets with. Not infrequently, even months in advance, the money is transferred to third-party accounts.

These money vultures always don't even think about the poor people who all lose their jobs.

[Glumbi]

Yes, unfortunately, the little ones are always the biggest losers.

Yes, it's always frightening to see how giant companies are driven into bankruptcy, all incompetent people are there at the front.

Yep, it also makes it difficult where to book, especially booking individual flights that are only in 8 or 10 months, I don't trust them at the moment.

[Gambler]

I feel the same way, the whole thing is difficult.

Yes, just wait, that's all you can do at the moment. My parents booked a trip through Neckermann in January next year, fortunately only paid for it no longer, we have to wait and see what happens there.
