Baltia came to us last year to assist in locating a 742/3 for their intended New York to St. Petersburg. Problem was that they wanted everything on the cheap. The talk was big but we withdrew after a short period, realizing that we were wasting our time. They stated that they could not afford a 744 at the time and our contention was the available classics were extremely high time a/c, many of them which would have required major dollars for heavy maintenance.
For the first year, they were talking two trips per week using just one a/c and that is where we left them.
