MyTravel staff getting a taste of their own medicine, just what they did to Going Places head office in Woking when Holiday House was conceived, we all said then they couldn't organise a p1ss-up in a brewery and we were right. I feel sorry for those losing their jobs, Rochdale is limited in its ability to offer anymore than a poor accent. Good luck and god bless.

I think the hold the TCG have on the high street travel shop is disgusting, bigger does not mean better, I was due to fly to spain yesterday morning but thomas cook told us wednesday evening they had double booked the rooms, they treat people badly but expect the custom. Still waiting for my £25 compensation and an apology.

The way that this has been handled is appauling as usual. The staff are used up and abused and then spat out!!!!

Business is business and no matter how biter we get, it will not change a thing. It was inevitable that MYT would be taken over at some point. We do have a taste of our own medicine, but hopefully TCG will not screw it all up like MYT did - and continues to do! Hopefully they will see sense and offer all employees affected by the redundancy the 3 week package, it would only be right and fair for those who have spend all their working lives keeping this Company going. Look at the savings, they can afford it.

Sure John Bloodworth and co will sleep easy in their beds no matter what. John Bloodworth stands to make £3.5 millon out of this deal and Peter McHugh £7 millon personally.

On a more important issue, anyone got a job for me? got bills to pay and don't fancy moving to Bradford in all honesty.

Well as we knew the complete managment team at my travel couldnt run a flea circus. The problem is that they have just taken 1500 hard working peoples jobs down the toilet with them. Although i have never worked for this company i am very close with someone who does(for now). the moral is very low because of the way these people have been treated. So come on my travel if you are to abandon all these people then at least show your gratitued for the way your staff held firm and loyal through the last years of uncertanty. GIVE THEM TWO WEEKS REDUNDANCEY LIKE THOMAS COOK.
To all you at My travel i hope you overcome this hard time and find places within new companys that look after there staff.

well done mytravel for really not looking after your staff AGAIN with thomas cook giving their employees twice the redundancy pay than a mytravel employee !! not only do the germans have all the sunloungers they have all the holiday companys too !!

MyTravel now have a taste of their own medicine. They have been on a slippery slope since wrecking Bridge & Cresta.
I'm not surprised Thomas Cook are taking over the runnning, they wouldn't want to risk these same monkeys screwing them over.

Ex-employee, Manchester,

Merger, what a load of bull. This is a take over. A few years down the line you will see no mention of Airtours, this is the end of a North West era. However, I am sure the directors will not loose any sleep over having made a complete botch up of what used to be a brilliant company.

Well Thomas Cook managed to do to MyTravel what the banks failed to do. But don't worry the directors will be OK.
Obviously after 5 years Peter McHugh failed to turn the UK business around.
