Whilst a laudable aim, publicising the fact that "on time will be the only time" is always bound to be an easy target when things go wrong.
Two of the 767s are being delivered late so the first few days have been some subbing including...an Air Atlanta TriStar - now there's a blast from the past.
Whilst on the subject of the 767, there sounds to have been an almighty cock-up somewhere. Some bright spark in commercial planned and sold a weekly 767 flight to Thira/Santorini but it was only discovered the night before the first flight was due to go that the airport there can't take a 767! Oops. They flew into Heraklion and put the passengers on a ferry to Santorini instead to cover the first flight, but no-one has a plan yet for what's to happen for the remaining weeks of the summer. It's a long time until October!
