Is it me or is this happening quite a lot recently to the cheap "no frills" airlines?

What with zoom just going bust, they are obviously all struggling for money with the price of oil soaring, are they cutting corners elsewhere and ending up with dodgy aeroplanes that are falling apart and putting everybody at risk??
