As a follower of this board and an investor for quite some time, I believe that we all have a responsibility to do our DD before making a post questioning the validity or integrity of Baltia (or any other company). I think that you make some very valid points, but should go back and read previous posts where your topics have been discussed at great lengths.

We are not all 100% cheerleaders on this post, and I for one can appreciate your perspective. When I first joined this board, I spent the first month or so reading old posts and found that most of my questions were answered through this process. For the remaining questions, I got on the phone with Baltia directly and had my concerns addressed. I then visited JFK and saw for myself the progress and the dedication of the team.

We have seen plenty of people come onto this board with a new alias "guns-a-blazing." That, unfortunaly, is why these peole find themselves continuously on the defensive.

Seeing the same M.O. every 5-6 weeks just gets "old" and probably very offensive to people who have been heavily invested and follow this post for years.

It takes a lot to get me going... We should all be in this for the same purpose.

Let's set something straight. You said, "Corrosion is a major problem with aged aircraft." - It is not. - unless the operator is NOT following the required "aging aircraft inspection" requirements, which are designed to detect potential problems before they become airworthiness issues, and correct those deficiencies. Baltia's first aircraft is regulation compliant.

You said, "Once it’s there, it eats through the metal like a cancer." Not true, unless it is left untreated (and moisture is present long-term) - and the "aging aircraft inspection" requirements identify potential problems and the resultant treatment/repair then prevents it from spreading. Period. These are preventive inspections/actions.

FYI - the "sister ship" is what has commonly been referred to on this board and elsewhere, as the other Delta/NWA aircraft that Kalitta is holding for Baltia. Nobody else has confused that term with the aircraft that we all know was set aside in Malaysia.

Incorrect information? - You wrongfully assumed that Baltia was starting with the Pakistani aircraft.

Negativity? - It's when someone states a partial truth about a topic (corrosion concerns), applies it to the subject at hand (Baltia's aircraft), then extrapolates to an untruth ("once it's there, it eats through the metal like a cancer", creating by association an unnecessary fear/concern.

Let's not quibble words anymore - let's do some due diligence and share valid information.

Good luck to you.
