IAN!!!!
What are you on about?
I for one prefer reading from a newspaper, booking through a travel agent and i even prefer having my milk delivered.
Calling them an achronism is an insult to the majority of customers who like face to face contact with those we deal with.
On the matter in question 5 weeks sounds generous but thats the only detail we know. Are there any ceilings to the number of years service or reductions due to age; its easy to jump on the bandwagon of knee jerk reactions to Headlines and selective detail.

5 weeks per year of service is an excellent redundancy package.

Why would TC pay more because of a sit in. Its only setting precedent for future redundancies….

FIVE weeks per year of service – blimey! Would have bitten their hand off for that when they ‘merged’ with MyTravel and made 3000 staff redundant in Rochdale….I think I only got the basic 4 weeks per week! Good for them standing up for their rights though…seems that TC are determined to rid anything of the old MyTravel from their portfolio, seeing Direct disappearing as well.

Five weeks pay per year of service is actually a very generous redundancy package.

And I would would expect more significant redundancies from the high street travel agents over the next few years, like printed newspapers, high street travel agents are an anachronism dating back to previous centuries.
