Thomas Cook has a fleet of jets and owns hotel properties

Freepers may not know that

More than just a travel agency

Guess I’m going to have to rent a Hertz and pull out my Rand McNally Road Atlas.

Good thing I cashed in all of my Thomas Cook travelers checks 40 years ago.

Their 20,000 workers don’t mean shit

Partly true. I'm sure they mean shit to somebody but they don't mean shit to me. I doubt very much I meant shit to them either when I got laid off. That's how it goes.

And unless they are spineless jelly fish, they’ll get a different job really soon, perhaps by a company that needs to fill the commercial void of Thomas Cook being gone..

There is another huge company still standing, TUI (formerly known as Thompson). I'm sure they will be interested in some of Cook's more desirable routes and will need experienced people to jump in.
