Well the aircraft are B737NG and the MRJ, the B737 will be the main airplane and the MRJ will be a regional jet but with a long range that can go from MIA to SJO or SJU when the seats on the NG are not sold out. For now we are charter operators , but june next year is program to go schedule service ( where?, we don't know ), at the same time he plans to have a charter division. In 5 years he plans to have 45 airplanes. We already have 3 airplanes and the fourth in October .
The hangar is already on the contractor hands, and the First B737 simulator is to arrive in January, According to my boeing friends on 36st in Miami. What Boeing has to do with Eastern , well Boeing is leasing the space plus MX services For the sim to EAL.
