Kind of sounds like the c-check is scrapped. There is a D-check scheduled for May.
This is not the timeline that was relayed to investors. Many thought Baltia might fly in 2013 or spring of 2014. Now that is not possible. The d-check holds things up until at least July. Not to mention the incredible cost associated with it.
This is not bad news, you are right. It is horrific.
When was this timeline presented to the shareholders? Was it discussed at the recent meeting? Was it a secret? Tonight was the first I heard about a D-Check here. Why do we have to rely on orvie to tell us what's going to happen with 706? You say nothing has changed in the timeline - therefore you knew about this?
When it is not too cold, where is it being done....Key West? It is very cold where the plane is parked outside.
The time line may not be a problem with the vendor as the plane is worked on when the vendor doesn't have a customer with a plane that actually flies. It is win-win for the vendor. Baltia fills in the vendor's empty spaces.
