Delta, I am at a point where I am reaching for the stars - and not settling just for the moon.  Yes - the certificate means they can do charter (non-scheduled) revenue earning flights anywhere in the world - but that is not the golden egg.

Touching down on Russian soil is going to drive this stock (through the roof?!) - and that is what I myself am focused on.  I am not interested in charter flights bringing BLTA up into the 2s.......I want ticket sales and Russian approval and advertising to bring BLTA up into the 10s..........

LOL....it used to be just about not looking foolish in front of relatives and friends.  I have gotten so used to that already, that now it is simply about pure greed!.........well, not really, becasue I still think I always try to "do the right thing" (like making that "5 year forward" contribution to my fiance's daughter's 529 plan - even when I have been crying poverty these last few months).

Nah....its still greed.  And as I write this, I just received word from my bank that they have decided to exit my industry as of November 1st.

Yes, Baltia - I need you more than ever........................(but I still won't compromise my values!).
