Either way, its happening...

When 901 gets out of the paint shop, it's scheduled for about 2 weeks of Proficiency flying to get all our sim qualified folks checked out in the jet. After that, several days of proving runs, tenatively scheduled for MEM-IAD-IND-MEM. After that, the Feds add it to our Ops Specs and we start revenue flying, which will be limited to LCAs and IOE students for a while
Thanks for the info fDX727pilot...
