Story: Brexit immigration proposals ‘catastrophic’, says British Hospitality Association Only the Home Office could come up with proposals as out of touch with reality as these. Without a very wide degree of free movement, we will be unable to operate our pubs, bars, coffee shops, hotels, restaurants, care homes and hospitals. The result would be a downward spiral of economic activity with a reduced tax base and ever-poorer public services. We have already seen how as the pound falls, EU immigration reduces; if it falls much further, nobody will want to come here anyway! The thought that the Home Office could even begin to operate such proposals is laughable. They could not even produce a workable e-borders scheme; what makes them think they could make any of this work?

Home Office’s plan for immigration is laughable

Striking Cook pilots divide opinion
Story: Thomas Cook Airlines pilots threaten further strikes Thomas Cook were close to bankrupcy not so long ago, so they need to cut their cloth according to what’s affordable. Balpa benchmarking every UK airline in terms of salary is, quite frankly, archaic. Tui are doing very well so it makes sense that their pilots are some of the best-paid. It’s all about the sustainability of each airline and their own business model to decide what remuneration is possible – not down to Balpa to decide. There are enough vacancies worldwide for pilots, so people can move on if they are not happy as opposed to striking. PHIL
Balpa are fighting to stop the continuing erosion of Thomas Cook pilots’ terms and conditions. Good on them! It’s happening in every airline and needs to stop. BRIAN Travel Weekly would welcome a response from Thomas Cook Airlines
