Can you help me locate the reference to Eastern Airline's completed C-check? I can't seem to locate it.

If that is the case, then yes, Eastern is in great shape to obtain certification.

Another apple to apple observation is that none of what you claim is PR'ed on thier website or anywhere else. So the claims about Baltia not PR'ing every little detail can be laid to rest, because neither is Eastern Airlines.

I'm excited to see Eastern get back in the sky. I visited an airplane museum out in N Carolina with one of thier original planes and was saddened to find out that airline had gone out of business. It has a rich history.

At the end of the day...it takes nothing away from what Baltia is doing. Baltia needs to get mini evac straightened out and commence proving flights. When doesn't matter as long as it does!

One thing I'd like to know is what do you think the reaction would be if Baltia did this without certification:

OMG! This board would crack at the seems if we got word of Baltia's "poor management" placing deposits down on 20 boeing 737's without certification.

But since Eastern Airlines, with it's trademarks and logos being the only thing they own, aside from the plane... this move is okay because it's them.

I don't know, but Baltia having a huge tax break and no future liability with agreements to purchase 20 several million dollar planes without any revenues seems to be a bit more appealing to me. Seems like "good management" in my list of definitions. But that's just a paradigm. I guess we all have the rite to look at things from our own perspective.
