I have done some consulting work in the past.
To answer the other post, I do know some people out there but I am not going to ask, that just would not be right.
The team that BLTA currently have in place should not have any problems finishing this up. They are pretty good.
The start up airlines are running into technology problems,you get some highly experience guys, but they are old and have not been around the "new wave" of EFB/IPADS, SMS, ATOS, AQP,ASAP etc. If you are used to do everything on paper it is hard to become a FAA techno geek.
The other problem is FAA is coming up with a whole slew of technological program that the FAA Inspectors do not understand, hence they require paper copies.
This is the most regulated industry in the world, and it is a daunting task to start an airline today. Just finished a Training program for an airlines and the paper version ended up being 1600 pages, that is just one manual. The POI must read every page and accept it before he issues an approval. An airlines to day usually end up with something of 17 to 21 manuals.
