Thomas Cook boss blasted for ‘planning a holiday’ while firm hit the rocks

A THOMAS COOK head honcho was lambasted yesterday for “sneering” claims of planning a holiday while the company faced destruction.

TSSA general secretary Manuel Cortes, whose union represented workers at the fallen holiday firm’s offices, criticised the remarks made by the company’s chairman Frank Meysman.
