I think your friend might be right and you may want to move to another investment! I am going to stay though and make some money with BLTA!
My friend John told me this today!!
Hi Firestream!!!!
Just want to give you an update:
I continue to purchase PP on a weekly basis, constantly adding to my portfolio.
I am closing in on my personal goal as quickly as I can.....biting at the bit so to speak, with Igor pulling back on the reigns.
Igor is very cautiously monitoring Baltia's expenses, and just taking in as much as he needs to get the job done on a weekly basis.
He is taking advantage of the fact that I am out here.....with pockets full of $ and anxious to pick up as much BLTA as possible....but I am content to let him run the show at this time.
It is a race against time.....with Igor hoping to get the good news before I am able to amass over 1 billion shares.
Honestly.....I think he is going to win, but the truth is.....either way.....it is a win-win situation for me.
He knows as well as anyone else than when Baltia receives the information it has been waiting over 52 days to hear, that BLTA is going to POP very nicely.
No sense selling more PP shares than he actually needs at this time....especially when any day now he could easily get over 10X the value for them.
Smart business man.
The good thing for you guys is that very soon you will know where 1 billion BLTA shares lie......in the hands of someone long and strong on Baltia Air Lines and BLTA.
It has been over 50 days since the last mini......and no word of pass or fail.
Has anyone here ever seen this before with any of the prior minis?
LOL.......my guess.......some really good news should be heading our way really soon.
I for one am continuing to buy BLTA at these ridiculously low prices.
IMHO, BLTA is going to make we investors very pleased in the very near future....................
Have a great day buddy!!
Yes you are right that Baltia has the potential to get to those levels one day!
Oh you added one too many 0's! I do agree .03
The Cheerleader on my shoulders is looking pretty good today, especially when I look up and see what I'm about to get!
Baltia will be flying soon!!!
Another quote my friend John told me was:
I believe Delta has done everything under the sun....including tactics that would be more than frowned upon......to keep Baltia grounded, but that now the writing is on the wall.
I mean.....not that the "honorable" Delta Airlines would stoop that low, but weren't they involved in the price fixing fiasco that the government uncovered earlier this year?
Rather than go head to head with Baltia on servicing Russia, Delta made the decision to sell it's routes and get out.....passing it off as a good "political" decision, but in reality grabbing as much $ as they could for the routes before those routes began to lose their value for them.
Well played Delta Airlines, if all is fair in love and war, but I for one hope that the henchmen that helped you get this far get what they truly deserve.
Quote from a friend of mine, his name is John and he know quite a bit about Baltia!
I can't say too much, but a couple of things that I can say:
First of all, BLTA is now listed as "current" on the OTCBB.
That is important in that for quite some time Baltia's 2014 10-K financials were filed but were not "signed off on" by a Certified Public Accountant.
So basically, Baltia is now finally back on track with its financial statements and its financial status in regards to the SEC.
They are financially "current" and in full compliance once again.
Second, Delta's "political" decision to withdraw from servicing Russia at this time is absolutely HUGE for Baltia and couldn't have come at a better time.
I say "political", because the truth is that Delta did not just "abandon" this route, but rather they sold it. The route was profitable and Delta was making $, but Delta made the "politcal" decision to withdraw from that market at this time - and they sold their Russian routes to Aeroflot and toTransaero Airlines.
Transaero Airlines has one of the worst safety records on the planet, and many Russian travelers do not want to fly on Aeroflot.
Delta's decision leaves an absolutely huge void for Baltia Air Lines to fill......and it really could not have come at a better time in Baltia's history.
Good luck to all.
Go Baltia!
Godspeed!
It's okay if you want to think that, BLTA is not for everyone and maybe not the right investment for you! From the information I have gathered I'm still with the Mid September time frame for proving flights to start. I guess we will soon see!
Correct.... I said "mid"! I did not say September 15th! Be patient we are almost there!
Very nice post Speckulater! The real Tony K from Baltia has a very impressive track record! Baltia management is A++!
I don't post lies, yes this is his real CRD for the real Tony at Baltia that everyone speaks too when calling!
Tony's real CRD!!!!
http://brokercheck.finra.org/Individual/Summary/2717036
Maybe the one person that did this was dumping to load up double as much with a new PP purchase! Sounds logical to me since they know Baltia will be worth way more here soon. Sell at .004 and buy double at .002 ( if that's what they are now going for). Not sure what PP shares are going for now? Look at it as they are helping the little guy get some cheap shares before the price goes threw the roof after Washington gives their thumbs up!
Baltia is a no-brainer for certification/viability, why has the pps trended higher during these last few weeks and the last Mini being a successful attempt? Baltia's certification staff has gotten it right Now! Is the trusted 747 jet at the core of its glory? (demos, and -- ever -- proving and -- ever -- service to Russia)? At what point does FAA say "yes"? I would have to say mid September!
Baltia expects a huge demand for its services. Baltia Air Lines will begin by offering non-stop flights from JFK to St. Petersburg, once a week. Then it will gradually increase its frequency to reach 5 flights a week.
World Travel Awards: St. Petersburg best travel destination in Europe
September 11, 2015
St. Petersburg has been named the best tourist destination in Europe by the prestigious World Travel Awards Europe, according to the organization's site.
The key factors in the city's success were century-old traditions, a rich history and its great tourist potential.
Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, Venice, Lisbon, Florence, Edinburgh, Istanbul, London, Porto, Berlin and the UK county of Yorkshire were all competing this year for the award.
All the winners of the organization's European travel prizes will participate in the World Travel Awards world final in Morocco on Dec. 12.
The World Travel Awards has been honoring organizations and companies that excel in the development of the tourist industry for 22 years.

Ask yourself why they are doing recurrent training with all crews, why the PPS has been slowly increasing each week, why the FAA still has not issued a fail for Mini #7 and still reviewing the decision in Washington, why Baltia has sent personnel down to watch the re packing procedures done with manufacture specifications while the new slides are being packed. Do you really think the FAA would waste their time and money on a bogus company?? Let's use our head now people!
So why you ask? Simple.... Because Baltia will be the next America based airline and they will be passed on this last Mini! If only a little more DD was done on the part of some here they would know this as fact and not put out some of the false hopes of some kind of failure happening. If only you took a bit of time to find what is truly happing behind the scene! Good luck to all regardless and hold on to your hats baltia shareholders, you all are about to take a fast rise to success!
"Baltia's Plan
Baltia plans to increase its fleet of airplanes after initiating revenue service. At the time flight service is inaugurated, the Company plans to employee approximately 30 management and 50 crew members and staff.
I agree, it is sad. I just have to drive 10 mins to see N706BL! If only everyone could see how real Baltia is and how close they really are! Once you are 100 feet from the plane you really get a feel that it's only a matter of time!
I drove by yesterday and saw multiple crew in and out of the plane. Probably doing normal maintenance or Maybe they are just using that Mini Vac I keep hearing about from some here to clean the carpets. FAA does like the plane to be clean for the up coming proving flights!
They are almost ready. Not sure where you heard they started before Labor Day? They are still doing recurrent training. There is multiple days of ground class room and multiple days in SIM. With multiple crews it takes time to get thru everything required. Be patient and remember what I have been saying for a few week.... Mid September!! Just around the corner

World Travel Awards
Saint Petersburg, Russia, leads World Travel Awards European winners in Sardinia
08 September 2015, 10:37
An audience of more than 250 industry leaders from across Europe were in attendance for the presentations on Saturday evening. During a glittering ceremony at Forte Village Resort, Saint Petersburg was recognised for its exceptionally rich history, centuries-old traditions and bright future.
Saint Petersburg, Russia, has claimed the title of Europe’s Leading Destination at the World Travel Awards Europe Gala Ceremony in Sardinia, Italy.

Baltia has already secured passenger and ground service arrangements at JFK and Pulkovo II Airport in St. Petersburg. The city of St. Petersburg is a major transport and cargo hub to Eastern Europe and Russia being Russia’s 2nd largest city after Moscow with 5 million inhabitants. St. Petersburg is only the beginning for Baltia Air Lines as we hope to emerge as the premiere U.S. airline in the Trans-Atlantic market between the major U.S. cities and capital cities of Europe and other destinations.
Baltia Air Lines finds themselves in a unique position
Baltia Air Lines finds themselves in a unique position amongst the debt-ridden airline companies of today. With minimal liabilities and a huge potential for profits, Baltia Air Lines projects to be profitable within its first year of regular scheduled flights. That’s at 64% capacity with just one Wide-bodied B-747 aircraft. With numbers like these, it’s no wonder Baltia Air Lines has been dubbed as "America’s Newest Airline" by many.
Like Alaskan Airlines, Baltia Air Lines has a concrete plan in place to steer clear of the atrocious debts that the major airline companies like American Airlines and Delta Air Lines carry. While several of today’s airlines lease their aircraft from larger corporations, Baltia Air Lines owns their Wide-bodied B-747 aircraft and intends to expand its route network and fleet aggressively into the future. If all goes to plan, "America’s Newest Airline" will expand and thrive amongst other major airline competitors.
CNN website claims "Baltia Air Lines Third Pilot Group To Create Excess of $110 Million Net Income"
In what is being deemed as a financially strategic decision, Baltia Air Lines (OTCBB:BLTA) recently began training its third set of pilots in preparation for passenger flights. The second and third flight crews will join the first group, who completed training several months ago, on the proving flights. Many see this as a move by Baltia to be more adequately prepared for post-certification flights. However, the company’s 747 aircraft does not require three groups of pilots, hinting at a likely acquisition of additional aircraft.
It is likely that Baltia is in the process of purchasing four 747’s that Delta Air Lines retired in mid-2014, and is training additional crew to operate a second, third, and possibly fourth aircraft prior to first flight. With a goal of assembling a fleet of four to five planes during the first year of revenue flights, Baltia is positioning itself for rapid growth.
Due to fuel costs being substantially lower than Baltia’s pro-forma calculates, profitability may increase to 30% or more, driving net income to an excess of $90 million at an aircraft load capacity of 64%. The realistic load will be closer to 90% or more, thus Baltia should be capable of generating 26% more net income, or over $110 million in year one of flights.
Trading multiples for established airlines typically fall between 10x and 14x earnings. However, companies that are in their first few years of generating revenue frequently trade at 20-30x earnings. Therefore, by the end of the first year of flights, Baltia should see a valuation between $2.2 billion and $3.3 billion, without consideration of other variables such as industry growth, marketing, and additional expansion.

If no one has heard... Baltia is sending their flight crews thru Recurrent Training to prepare for Proving Flights. Baltia Airmen will be using the 747-200 Sim at Kalitta's training facility. These trainings will prepare the pilots to be current for the Proving Flights that I have gathered to start in Mid September!

Oh would you look at that! Another green day for BLTA! And a solid .005 support to boot! Pretty soon these half cent prices will be a thing of the past. Once Washington gives their thumbs up and recurrent training is done, mid September will be here and N706BL will be flying around the U.S. and world showing the FAA that they are ready to run with the big dogs! And with their sound business platform, possible surpass the competition!
And as Troyal said Go Baltia!

News!!!! Local FAA passed Baltia's last Mini Evac and we should very soon hear word about Washington giving their thumb up! Exciting time for the Baltia shareholders! Mid September is just around the corner!!
We are bouncing nicely on the support of .005 today. I'm thinking we very well may see green for another time this week at the close! With the pilots getting recurrent training as we speak for the upcoming Proving Flights that are expected mid September and the news of a possible Pass by Washington Tuesday or Wednesday, their is no doubt in my mind we will see the price soar to new heights here shortly. Hope everyone is ready for the ride of a life time!!
