Ladies and Gentlemen, fear not, a missed pass on a mini-evac is certainly not the end of the world - especially when it is due to a mechanical failure and not the fault of the staff.
How many of us actually passed our road test the first time? Did that mean that you couldn't ultimately get your driver's license?
I also heard that a certain airline with a Greek Letter name actually missed passing its mini-evac quite a few times, yet this Greek Letter named airline is flying today.
The next mini-evac/ditching exercise is coming soon, and here is your clue: Look for N706BL to return to Willow Run from Oscoda. The mini-evac is not going to be done at N706BL's present location.
Watch www.flightaware.com - the last flight N706BL took was listed under its flight number, BLT101. I myself am keeping a watchful eye out for BLT102 as a good first guess.
If you want, you can believe someone who is able to dump his entire BLTA portfolio on a day when there is just under 4 million shares traded, or a guy whose wife and he own just over 363 million shares and who is the spokesperson for a group of about 20 investors who collectively own almost 400 million shares.
After almost 5 years of the FAA working with Baltia on this certification process, does anyone seriously believe that it will all come to an end in the 11th hour, over a non-passed mini-evac due to a mechanical failure?
To you guys who are buying now, I say "buy in confidence" (IMHO).
I myself have a check on my desk for $900,000 with Baltia's name on it. It is awaiting word that N706BL needs to be fueled for the proving flights.
Why $900,000 and not one million? LOL.....who do you think filled her up for the mini-evac exercise and her flight to and her very near future flight back from Oscoda?
I expect that this check will no longer be sitting on my desk comes Christmas Eve.
CAVU and GLTA.
