Tailscrape,
I understand your message, but I might have worded it differently.
I also have heard the message on Friday was very depressing, with some talk of a "last Minute" american investor coming to the table.
Irrespective of the outcome, the Flight Ops Team can be proud of an incredible achievement of getting through the AOC process successfully without money, resources or even an aircraft
I just hope, if the project is terminated, too many people's lives won't have been destroyed along the way......my concern about this project from day one.
