What many of you may not have known was that while Igor was around, the FAA told him that Baltia's certification will be halted. This PR today is EXACTLY what we were waiting for. The FAA has given Baltia the go-ahead to continue certification from where they left off, and with Kalitta's new plane, guys this is a big fucking deal...there's no chance a new plane will fail the evac especially when Baltia is LEASING IT!! THIS IS THE KEY POINT!!
It's not Baltia's responsibility to get the evac to work. This is VERY VERY VERY EXCITING NEWS.
Kalitta will ensure the plane passes evac, and then we're down to just some proving runs and the market campaign will kick off. Congratulations Tony and everyone who gave this company a real chance at success.
