"...still 4-6 weeks away from approval (your estimated time frame)"

We need to be clear that this "approval" is only the approval of the manuals, NOT the FAA's final approval of the air carrier certificate, which Baltia must have before it can sell tickets and fly passengers. Manuals approval, referred to above, enables Baltia to go through the "first gate" of the certificate approval process. So when talking about this first and most difficult approval, we should be careful to call it "manuals approval."

Certificate approval has been estimated to be achievable in 2 to 4 months AFTER manuals approval, involving the unambiguous steps (in relation to manuals approval) of crew hiring (some interviewing already done), training, proving flights, emergency evacuation demo with the 747, table top exercise (a simulation done at the office of handling various emergencies), etc.

I mention this so that newcomers to this board won't have the mistaken impression that as soon as Baltia gets manuals approval it will be able to start operations - not so. Nobody is served (except those who want to push the stock price down) by our having inaccurate expectations.
