It almost seems like they’re now trying to play catch-up adding the 700 and 900 to the operating certificate when others had them for years already.

The simple fact is AW doesn’t even have the airplanes on the fleet/property so it’s all hearsay and speculation for now.

Like all things AW, until we can physically see those planes on property and believe it, is when we have them to fly.

As for communication between management and employees, they really need to work on that. It’s almost like Viceroy Gunray in Star Wars saying “no need to report that to him until we have something to report.”
