More recently, it reminds me of Flyglobespan and their expansion plans. We had a flight booked in September 2007, and had a summer reading about 12 hours delays and cancellations. They too had problems with leased aircraft reliability. (In the end our flights were fine, although not on the date or route we had originally booked!).
