Well before the evac failure, without prejudice, the company had through its share sale staff, representations to investors as to how soon it would seem be airborne. There are num Eros examples of this. However to fly one must have an aircraft, and though it may seem a small detail, it should have engines.
Connie Kaliyah was hailed as a step in the right direction tips then his tenure was cut short and this too was hailed as the right move.
The Kallita Air 767 was loudly trumpeted (resisting the potential play on words there) as the right move then the cancellation of the lease was a brilliant stroke of management planning. Of course this was also referenced in the context of this aircraft being Mexico where it was being painted in the new livery (to be fair this rumour was coming from those in the know but not management who were far too busy securing incredible deals to state this was not true).
The new name was touted, the new livery rolled out, the pool party was held, the special SHM was held, Tony promised to be flyin g at the end of 2017, the statement made finANCIALS WERE COMPLETE WITH ONLY THE FINAL QUARTER TO GO, SONGBIRD DEAL, THE LOST MILLION, BOARD MEMBERS RESIGNING, Lampl stating it was only like an exuberant credit. Card company cancelling the card-a computer glitch (apologies for the caps, train just lurched pulling out of the station) and the biggest shareholder being charged (it will be interesting if Baltia is linked to the charges in the second indictment) but it would be both pre-mature and irresponsible to state they will be).
So if not a scam then the most incompetent team of executives ev really to run an airline. There are far too many fails to suggest otherwise. You are right in assuming ing it is no easy task to set up an airline. Since 1989 Baltia has been a fail. Taking your time, like Virgin did, to get it right is one thing. Seeing a generation pass from middle age to seventy years of age with no progress is quite another.
