Thomas Cook are a company with no direction. They have lost touch with reality. They make no profits yet the top dogs continue to earn 6 figure salaries and 6 figure bonuses. Having worked in the travel retail sector for over 20 years it's mind numbing to see this company make the same mistakes again and again. They need their heads banging together and instead of trying to tell the customer what they think they want, they need to listen to what the customer is actually saying and look at what they are doing. The travel industry is ever changing and if cooks don't do something very quickly they will be a company that is remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Where is the talent and young blood this Business is so in need of?
As a Shareholder i am not impressed as it is this makes me feel even more depressed and indicates the CEO is clueless as to what the Business actually needs.

Forget all that and make a fundamental change now. Invesco may find the true cost of a reassuring lunch very expensive
