You can't blame people for being skeptical, harsh criticism is expected. Those who sign up to new start ups with questionable business plans, need to bear some responsibility also if it gets messy.
Whilst I think many would want to support the good people, many are clearly skeptics looking back at the last 20 years. A whole heap of players have come and gone, how many are still here today? A 737 from Newcastle to Wellcamp hardly fills everyone with confidence.
