Lastminute job cuts

I read today that Lastminute are cutting their workforce by 14% worldwide as part of a cost cutting drive. Its chairman says that their profits have edged up slightly despite difficult market conditions. One of which cited was that “the company, in common with other travel operators, had been affected by a growing tendency for consumers to book their holidays later than usual”.

But isn’t that what Lastminute are supposed to be good at? That’s why they’re called Lastminute and not Bookearly.
