Milestones
The accompanying chart gives some notional milestones for setting up the new airline, beginning recruitment, training, and operations, and also reaching profitability on a month-to-month basis. The timetable is ambitious, and it is meant to be. The time for action is now, and once a decision is made to go forward there will be no time, or resources, to waste. Of course, once a final plan, team, organization, and financing is in place, a more refined timetable will be established and specific duties delegated to responsible team members.
