Baltia Air Lines Inc. (fka BLTA)

No snag now with the manuals.

Somebody obviously hasn't been paying attention. Months ago it was pointed out that the plane would NOT be brought to JFK until AFTER crew training was completed. And crew training can't even start until manuals approval. The plane isn't needed at JFK until the crew is scheduled to perform the evacuation demo. Bringing it earlier would just saddle Baltia with huge JFK daily storage fees prior to proving flights - what would be the sense of that? It costs nothing to store it in Oscoda, MI.

So anyone watching Flightaware now is wasting their time. The plane isn't coming to JFK until several weeks after manuals approval.
