Banzai,
Whilst I don't doubt your CC friend, it could be that it is only a perception. According to the flightontime stats, MYT Lite average delay is 16 mins versus BMIBaby at 20 mins, based on the first quarter of 2004.

Which links me nicely back to the MYT problems. Perception. Whilst I would be the first to admit that MYT have more than their share of problems, once a company develops a bad reputation (in whatever area) it is very hard to shake that reputation off. Whilst some people hark back to the heady days of Airtours International, having an airline labelled as Scaretours does not instill confidence in the travelling public, no matter how tongue-in-cheek the name is supposed to be. The groups reputation on the stack markets was severely damaged by a series of profit warnings a couple of years ago and it is going to take a lot of work to recover that reputation, although I do believe that it will happen. Optimism is the only thing that gets me into work at the moment!
