There is no AOC and they are trying to use " Hangar 8" AOC to get started. Not having an AOC after so many years of prep might give you an impression of the competence of the responsible management.
Mechanics, no matter how good they are in their proffesion, are not always capable in keeping up with what is required and taking the responsibility to bring things to a good end. It is just this level that has to see if they can get an AOC for such a complicated operation and business.
The people responsible to get this all started do lack the knowledge to see this and gambled wrong. Its simply not going to work, aside from the financial mess they are in.
