I would guess that is their current plan / earliest possible date when they think they might be able to fly again.

time will tell. personally I think it‘ll be later than that
Yeah maybe they are just putting out whatever date to relieve pressure from calls in of people not knowing or something

For crying out loud. What on Earth do public holidays matter?! So many working from home, so many fired, so many furloughed (in the uk). And enormous taxation to follow to enable governments to balance the books. We are all in this together trying to make society functional. Society before self.
Calm yourself, I don't set my wage or my contract, il be earning the same as every other NHS worker on those days.

Nurses and doctors are entitled to bank holidays too ?

Moving the public holidays would of been beneficial for the nhs in this situation (according to my manager), as now she is having to bring a lot of staff in on those days who wouldn't normally be in (and pay them accordingly as per their contract).

Thanks
 
Slight rise in the number of new cases in Spain yesterday (Weds*) after a few days fall :-(

* had to turn the telly on to check what day it is today as I hadn't a frigging clue.

From what I understand the government has said people can carry unused holidays over for 2 years. So guess if you work bank holiday you'd get that in leu ?‍♂️
 
latest numbers as of today
spain +4% cases in total, just over 150k now. also 50k cured people and 15k deaths.

balearics +2.5% cases (36 newly infected)

will add details and more news in the ibiza updates thread later.
 
Does Jet2 know something we don't? They posted on Tuesday to say their holidays / flights are back up and running as of 17th June

Dont be fooled. Apparently they had another statement exactly the same with a date in May mentioned on it but have now said June. They’re just delaying the inevitable
 
We’ve booked Hotel Mare Nostrum in Playa d’en Bossa for early June. I understand these businesses need to survive but I find this a bit unreasonable.

Happy to get a credit rather than a refund but to say we must use it in 2020 isn’t really on is it? Or am I being harsh?

I'm sure as time passes they will change their approach. if the borders stay closed this summer - a very likely scenario - they will have to accept to move the booking over to 2021. at least this is what I think.

Perfectly calm. My wife is a key worker. She hasn’t got a cat in hells chance of a public holiday anytime soon. This virus transcends time. It doesn’t work to 37 hours a week timeframe. What was normal is not normal anymore. Structured time no longer exists. While my wife works I am working full time and operating as daddy day care and teacher to two kids. All calendar dates are out of the window. Once this is done everyone can get their holidays, claim over time or simply write off time owed so we can get economies moving.
 
For crying out loud. What on Earth do public holidays matter?!

I suggested moving the public holidays to a later date because millions of people won't get to appreciate them this weekend. when the worst of the health storm clears it would have given something for people to look fwd to and people really do need that lift right now. I feel depressed as fk right now partly because there is currently zilch to look forward to.
 
Absolutely mate, I can't believe companies that big can get away with that.. there will actually be people making brand new bookings for then aswell its criminal

I don’t think it’s important in the grand scheme of things. We already have provision for this in UK law. I can’t speak for other nations. I think it’s something for employers to deal with their workforce and unions where relevant. Reality is in the Uk, employment law dictates that if people are contracted and work a public holiday they are entitled to that day at another time, or overtime payments. This situation doesn’t change that.

In the Uk we also have a lot of people being paid in full to do nothing and we also have a lot of people furloughed. There is a strong case to say employers and the state should get that time back to stimulate the economy, but they won’t as these are extraordinary times. What we will all see in the UK is huge tax and NI increases for all of us to pay for that for over a decade. Folks need jobs to go back to otherwise there will be no holidays.

Unreasonable in my opinion. A hotel chain in Europe is doing the same to me too. Sitting it out for now but I will be pursuing a refund either directly or charge back on my credit card. If Playasol go bankrupt, your voucher is worthless anyway. Even if they come back as Playasol#2 Inc
 
C'mon @LuckyBlueSuit , I can tell you're very emotionally invested in this because of your situation but don't be *that* guy who doesn't want to move the public holidays!! An act which would ultimately help the majority of the UK workforce

There's absolutely no malice in that, even if, as you correctly state, there's more important things on the agenda at the moment. Nobody is suggesting it should be a top priority. Though surely we can still agree it would be a nice gesture

True, not everybody can appreciate public holidays, but by and large they're a victory for the everyman

I agree, moving them would be a massive morale booster at a time when it's needed most

Haha. This is a red herring. In the Uk there is no need as employees that are contracted will get them at a later date anyway, unless they want paying.

I am that guy with business interests and a big eye on the economy. I’m also the guy advocating lock down for as long as it takes. Once that changes we need to crack on or there will be no holidays at all.
