No I do not think so. I believe that now it is getting close enough that one of the people that has put their name on the LOc may be willing to put up their house or 401k to loan the money to the company to get the aircraft out. I do not understand that since Igor is the largest guarantor of the LOC (per the filings) why he does not just ante up the cash and take the payback when it flies. Still I think they will get the cash somewhere. But unless they begin the hiring and training now they will not fly this year. The various training classes are only 4 to 6 weeks to accomplish, but there also slots and equipment availabilities to consider as well as the washouts and they must have the attendants available to do the ditching requirements. Also, they are making it a requirement that all crew and attendants live within 50 miles of JFK so there will be no hotels given, they cannot be a member of any union, and they must train prior to be put on payroll (I think is how it was explained when we met with Igor and Barry a few years ago...it may take awhile to find enough people to take the job. I am more concerned about the Manual certification with the FAA than I am the aircraft. When I spoke with my contacts last they said the manual "had a looong way to go."
