A catalogue of errors!!!

Oh dear! The curse of Transjet strikes again. Lots of happy holidaymakers flying from Bristol to Corfu on SWL706. The pilot tells the passengers that they can see Paris off to the right, then ten minutes later he's back saying "errr it wasn't Paris after all." Slightly worrying? He then tells the passengers that he has to land at Milan to refuel, before touching down in Verona where the airline have no fuel credit. On the return flight SWL705 the following week, the pilot tells the pax that he has to return to Corfu as all the oil had leaked out of the engine because "someone hadn't put the filler cap back on properly." Also on another recent SWL flight the pilot didn't speak enough English to communicate with the co-pilot, so they had to have a second co-pilot on board to translate between the two!!! Is this normal for this airline? Would you fly with Transjet? What do you think about this?
