My newly revised “Schedule to First Flight”

My newly revised “Schedule to First Flight”

March – finish tweaking training manuals.  Simulator training (8 business days long) will be post-poned to sometime in April in order to bring Kalitta, Baltia, the training manuals, and the FAA all onto “1 page” when it comes to this final, critical part of the training (honestly, the simulator part does not have to be completed until N706BL is about 2 weeks away from its C-checks completion – think about it. The crew and the plane BOTH only  have to be ready by the beginning of May).  Rumor has it that N706BL will actually move in a week earlier than expected for its C-checks, so C-checks will begin at the end of March!

April - N706BL  gets its C-checks completed, cadre wraps up simulator training and any remaining classroom practical items as they prepare for phase III – the phase that requires a fully operational N706BL.  Press release about the completion of training and the entering into of phase III is released somewhere between April 15 and the 30th.  10-K is released for 2013, and Flaflyersfan bashes the hell out of it (because it relates only to 2013 and shows none of the major advancements that Baltia has seen in the first quarter of 2014). 

May – HUGE MONTH! - proving flights and mini-evac, middle of May Baltia gets the right to begin ticket sales and advertising begins, pps should see some MAJOR upticks.  Video of N706BL  flying towards JFK is released to the media in the first half of May.  10-Q is released for 1st quarter 2014 and some of the major advances that Baltia has achieved in early 2014 are released.  Flaflyersfan goes back to talking about Baltia only having one plane and taking 24 years to get to this point.

June - Baltia gets its certificate from the FAA and now is waiting (45 days) for Russian "acceptance" of the FAA certificate;  pps should continue along with its northerly upticks.

July - towards end of July, Russian acceptance is received and Baltia schedules 1st flight to occur in sometime before the end of August.  ;  pps continues along with its northerly upticks.

August - 1st flight, operations begin and Baltia is now the talk of the town (God willing!).  (pps sky rockets!?

Any comments?
