How bizarre!
FLYMATE makes a post that the proving flight is happening on the 27th, sales start on 29th and first flight on December 12th.
Then he deletes it.......
It is unheard of to delay sales until after the AOC proving flight. It actually infers a lack of confidence in the Flight Ops team in getting an AOC at all. If the Team is confident of getting an AOC , it would be planned for 4 days before the first commercial flight, and sales would have commenced 3 months before first flight.
Unless the problem is an Operating licence ( The financial end of things)
All very strange.....
