yes - there was talk of a merger between the two not long ago but it obviously never happened - that's what's confused my very little brain :oops:

Don't panic, watch this video on Sky news if you want some re-assuring. If anything this is an opportunity if you are looking for some cheap shares that could re-bound big time in 2012!

Big problem may be that a lot of smaller TOs use Thomas Cook/First Choice charters

If you're not booked with Squeezyjet/jet2 etc than now may be the time
Nope, Crystal belong to TUI as well as Thomson.

You'll find the majority of charter flights to ski airports are Thomson Airways (swallowed up First Choice a couple of years ago), Thomas Cook Airways (I was told they were in trouble last June but didn't realise to what extent), Monarch Airlines (independent) or another airlines aircraft thats been chartered such as Flybe or Austrian Airlines for example.

TUI Group are First Choice, Crystal and Thomson for skiing.
Thomas Cook is Neilson.

Inghams are nothing to do with either of them.

Thomas Cook also bought the MyTravel business, along with Panorama a few years back. That might be something to do with their problems maybe?

Last I heard this morning, TCook share price was down 68%!!!!

Looks to me its take over time, or if not they may be the first of the predicted collapse, which would only start a domino effect. Same as football clubs, once one big one goes, others will follow.

Its the beginning of melt down guys.....the world is on the verge of collapse. Financial disaster, natural events (tsunamis, earthquakes), civil unrest and revolution in the middle east.......

.....beware 21.12.12!!!!!
