thanks for backing me up here - I'm just sick of these senseless argumentations.
Fact is: nothing good will happen here until they PASS!

I don't think you know what you are talking about, I have done several of these event through my 30 yrs in aviation. You need to look up FSIM8900.1 so you can educate your self in the area of FAR 121 certification.

Each phase of a certification have certain requirements that the operator has to comply with. Evacuation & Ditching demonstration is one of them. FAA specifically call this a demonstration, the crew needs to Demonstrate their proficiency for those events. As for BLTA the crew has already demonstrate this, 2nd part which is concurrent with the crew demonstration is technical (i.e) slides, in this case the slides needs to work. FAA have already seen the crew in action and will not focus on the crew for the future demonstrations, FAA's main objective are going forward the slides, the crew have more leeway for their performance. FAA will not move forward until the completion of this event. I have personally spoke to the FAA inspector in charge of this event.

It's a demonstration. It's a check-box that needs to be checked off. They'll perform it as many times as they need to in order to satisfy the requirement; but it will get done.

Do you truly believe what you are saying?

To state that "this company remains in its 25 year limbo" is equivalent to saying that someone that has gone from a baby through kindergarten then grammar school and middle school and high school....then college and grad school....advancing all the way....is still "in limbo" simply because they have not started work at the research facility they are earmarked to run in a couple of months.

Anyone thinking Baltia is "in its 25 year limbo" has absolutely no clue as to what Baltia has accomplished over the years and where it is right now....and for that matter, where it is headed in the quite near future.
