Buster,
you're not an endangered species by any chance.
What you've said above are the REASONS why things are the way they are in the Low Cost world at the moment ( and I never suggested Man air was a low cost operator, just a start up with potential).
My point is that the LoCo market is going though a bit of a bad patch, for all the reasons you mentioned, coupled with over capacity and lots of seats chasing fewer bums ( Even Ryanair had to admit recently that they couldn't GIVE their seats away).
Ryanair will recover, Easyjet will recover, eventually bmi-baby might make money ( although I suspect the real situationwill be carefully hidden in the parent account....as will the Jet 2 figures). So why does anyone believe NOW has something to bring to the table?
I hope they get it together,but I also hope they don't hurt a lot of people by getting it wrong, and by not being honest.
Their COO does not have a strong track record to work with.

this newspaper story reflects my concerns.
It's all about credibility
