Blimey, I`m off to Egypt soon and I hope Thomas Cook dont use this policy.
How can he be totally at fault when in the same sentence, Simon said UA have mismanaged the situation?

I'm siding with passenger here. It's not okay to mishandle a situation like this. This doctor is 69 years of age, therefore a pensioner.

Earlier I said the company is now in company damage limitation mode, but after reassessing their PR skills, I'm replacing limitation to overdrive.
