flyglobespan flight changes

I and a lot of family members have been booked with flyglobespan since late last year for flights to Hamilton (outside Toronto) from Belfast.
Initially the flights were arranged on Wednesdays but they've just emailed me to say all flights from Belfast to Hamilton and back now operate on Sundays and they have pushed the flights back the 3 days. My flight has changed from Wed 24 June to Sun 21 June. This doesn't pose too much of a problem for me personally but other members of my family are flying earlier in June and had been due to fly back on a wednesday. Unfortunately we're all booked into accomodation at a theme park in New York state over a weekend so a sunday flight kinda wrecks that.
Anyone else been finding flyglobespan being a bit willy nilly with their flight changes? It seems a bit rich to alter them so late in the day. Some family members are flying at the start of June so landing this change on them in the middle of May seems very shoddy indeed. Are they able to do this?

You hsve my sympathy, they are an awful outfit.
We flew to Malaga for my daughters wedding last October, they pushed the flight back just under 12 hours so they did not have to compensate us, we then had to book hotel rooms at a cost of several hundred pounds, they should not be allowed to operate in my opinionFiliss0 -

Used zoom a few times before they went down the tubes and found them fine but not really superior to globespan overall. Have used globespan in the past and never really had much hassle personally.
Just doesn't seem very fair on people to change their flights by days a matter of weeks before the flight takes place. For myself it makes little different overall but for other members of my family it will make it a bit more problematic.0 -

Flyglobespan's timetable is a work of fiction that, at times, J.K Rowling would be proud of.
They do seem to have a reputation for doing this, it seemed this year they have been a lot better (overall), but as you've experienced, they still seem to have a habit for it.0 -

You may have that round the wrong way fella, it's always been out Thurs and back Friday. My flight is still offered on their site and hasn't changed a jot so fingers crossed0 -
