Revised schedule of events - In My Opinion: 2nd
Post# of 41413
2nd week of June: N706BL leaves the hangar. Orvie posts - but have the engines been remounted? I believe the answer to that will be YES and that Baltia will PR that N706BL has completed all of its checks and is cleared for take-off.
3rd to last week of June: Simulator training and other aspects of training resume/begin. We may actually hear that a second class is moving through the now ironed out an tweeked training program. Baltia will PR both the resumption of this training as well as its completion in the first to second week of July.
1st to 2nd week of July: Intense training as well as simulator training of cadre. Baltia should PR the completion of this process by mid to 3rd week of July.
Last week of July/1st to second week of August: Baltia will announce its entrance into Phase III - a HUGE accomplishment, as Phase III is almost like the equivalent of the automobile driver's "road test" - except here the pilot's have actually been "driving" on the very same roads they will be tested on for like the last 20 or so years. Anyone in the know should realize the importance of this milestone event - and the pps should reflect accordingly. As a matter of fact, there is so much confidence surrounding the entrance into Phase III that Baltia will be able to petition the DOT for the right to start selling tickets - and ticket sales is accompanied by a massive roll-out of various forms of advertising - all of which will alert "Joe Public Investor" to the birth of a new international airline - an event that has not occurred in over 16 years.....
Oh....and don't forget......when N706BL makes its maiden journey over to JFK under the Baltia Colors, that flight will be recorded and released to the media - alerting any TV station willing to take air it that there is a new kid in town.......a 24 year underdog that has accomplished something that no one else has accomplished in the last 16 years - and who will be bringing many new jobs and much needed revenues to New York and Long Island................
Entire month of August on into the 1st and 2nd week of September will be table-top exercises, proving flights, and mini-evac. By middle to third week of September, Baltia will have completed this phase of the process and will PR its accomplishment accordingly.
Last week of September - Baltia receives its long awaited "diploma". This diploma will plaster the news more than a Jewish grandmother brags about her grandson's "brit milah."
