Thomas Cook staff: Redundant twice in a year

Former Thomas Cook staff:"We thought, right we need to do something"

On the platform of their local train station in Frodsham, Cheshire, Adrian and Paul spotted an empty building and an opportunity. "The last year has been dreadful," says Cathy, who was with Thomas Cook for 25 years. A year on she still isn't working."It's been really hard. I don't think employers actually realise what a talent pool crew are. We were firemen, policemen, councillors, diplomats, medical staff - if something went wrong up there, there was no 999 to call.

Sandra loved her job."Fabulous, everything you can dream of" is how she describes it. She worked for Thomas Cook for 23 years, and says she felt"bereaved" when the company collapsed. "I thought I'd be there till I retired," he tells me."I was aiming to buy a house, settle down and be living here close to my family." His partner was expecting a baby a few months after Thomas Cook went under.

Matt isn't alone in people who suffered this double whammy of redundancy in aviation. I've been contacted by lots of former Thomas Cook staff who took jobs with some of the UK's big airlines, including Jet2, BA and Tui. In some instances, staff completed training courses, only to be made redundant before making a flight. Others did just a handful and were then let go.Matt says it has led to a period of self-reflection and realisation.

Good on you guys. And hope all works out.

Nothing worse than losing your job. I really feel for people at the moment. Terrible situation.
