Kalitta operates several airlines. He had absolutely no use for Baltia. Tony wanted Kalitta for cred, and issued a puff PR. Kalitta knew it, and he declined further involvement. No PR on his departure.
Kalitta extended credit to Baltia for maintenance and training, shrewdly placing mechanics liens on 706, which were eventually exercised.
There was never any possibility of a Baltia 767-300ER lease from Kalitta, and the pump crew knew it, even though they tried to monetize it.
Same story at Songbird. Zero possibility, but they pumped and tried to monetize it.
NO MONEY, NO LEASE, NO PURCHASE. CAPICHE?
100% SCAM.
