For sure it’s seems to have been a bumpy start and maybe Primera can avoid that if not they will need very deep pockets indeed.
When do they start operations?
Very true, but like you, I also have some experience of the workings of the company/companies and personally it doesn't give me too much faith that they have the skills to turn things around. I'm not sure they even have acknowledged that something might not be right.
Personally, I don't think stating have many planes they have is much to shout about, it's not hard to borrow money and expand at all. The trick is being able to make money from it and keeping the costs under control.
