.. Response

to Information Request Dear
Mr. Walker

: This will respond

to your email

to me dated January

22, 2015, requesting

a few additional items

to complete

the fitness showing

by Dynamic Airways

i n support

of its pending application for scheduled

cert

i ficate authority

. 1.

A letter from Kenneth Wooley

and Paul Kraus

. attesting

that they are prepared

to increase
their commitment

to provide

cap

i ta

l to Dynamic

up to $18 million,

is attached as Exh

i b

i t

1

. 2

. A profit and loss statement

for the 12-month period ending November

2014

is attached as Exhibit

2

. 3

. Regarding

the compliance information

for Mr

. John Mullin and Mr. Dennis Conner,

as required

by section

201

. 3(1)

, (m),
(o)

, (p) and
(q)

, Dynamic states

as follows

: there
are no outstanding judgments

or pend

i ng actions against either

Mr

. Mullin

or Mr. Conner; nor are there any investigations

, enforcement
actions

or formal complaints

by the Department, including

the FAA

, pending against either

of them

or any relevant corporation;

nor have there been any charges

of unfair

or deceptive

or anticompetitive business practices

, or of fraud

, felony

or antitrust

v

i olation brought against either

of them,

or any relevant corporation

. in the last
10 years

; nor has either

of them,

or any relevant corporat

i on

, experienced

an aircraft accident

or incident

in the past year,

or previously

and which

is still under

i nvestigation

. Mr. Conner

is
a U

. S

. citizen;

Mr

. Mullins

is
a Canadian citizen

. 4

. Attached

as Exhibits

3 and

4 are revised forecast income statements (assuming

afiveaircraft
fleet and
an expanded

fleet, respectively)

, amended

to show
the calculation

on which revenue projections previously submitted

are based.

A word

of explanation

on this point

is in order

. The spec

i fic revenue elements contained

in section

204

. 3(t)(2) are not
all applicable

to Dynamic

' s particular business model

- at least

for the operations contemplated

in this forecast.

For
its cargo service

to South America,

the carrier

is being

pa

i d a guaranteed

rate per hour under

an agreement

with

21 Air/So

l ar 16271 Street, NW Suite 1100 Washington,

2 Cargo

, which handles

all bookings

, though

the flights

are operated

as

a scheduled charter.

The passenger operations

in China and Guyana

are now being

run on

a charter basis, and once
the carrier holds scheduled authority

, very little change

will be made

in how the carrier

is compensated

. Seats

on Dynamic

' s China service

are sold in blocks

to the Chinese government-owned

travel service,

with

a minimum guarantee provided

by the provincial government.

Thus, Dynamic

is compensated

based

on an hourly
rate

. With scheduled authority

, the carrier

will be able

to sell any individual seats available,

as well

as sell the transportation

to US-originat

i ng passengers

. However,

the forecasts

are based

on the guarantee arrangement

in place

w

i th the Chinese entities

; additional passengers booked would

s

i mply

be

e x
t r a revenue

. And while
the JFK-Georgetown

flights

are sold directly

by Dynamic

, the carrier

has calculated

its costs and revenues

on

a block-hour
basis, based

on historic performance

, which

is the method

with which

it is most familiar

. For this reason

, estimates

of numbers

of passengers

and tons

of cargo would simply

be conjecture

, and would

not be relevant

to how Dynamic

has estimated

its revenue

. 5

. DA2

is no longer

an owner

of Dynamic Airways

. On October

9, 2014

, DA2 sold

its ownership interest,

in equal amounts,

to Mr

. Woolley

and
Mr

. Kraus, making them each

50 percent owners

of the carrier

. 6

. Attached

as Exhibit

5 is
a copy

of the complaint

filed

in Rambarran

v

. Dynamic Airways,

LLC, 14-c-v-10138-CS-PED

. As we indicated

in our previous
letter

, the carrier considers

this complaint

to be without merit

, and

it is defending

the matter vigorously

. 7

. The
list of key personnel

that you provided

is correct

, e x cep

t for the follow

i ng

: Herman
Gillis

is no longer with Dynamic

. The new Director

of Operations

is Mr

. Don Dodson

. Supporting information

on Mr

. Dodson

is contained
below

, and
his resume is attached

as Exhibit

6

. The position

of Comptroller

has been abolished

; those functions

are now subsumed under
the Chief Financial Officer

. The position

of V

, and those functions

are now subsumed

. There

are no outstanding judgments

or pending actions against

him; nor are there any investigations, enforcement
actions

or formal complaints

by the Department, including

the FAA

, pending

aga

i nst

h

i m or any relevant corporation

; and c) Plaintiffs assert claims
that are typical

of the entire Class, having

to receive financial compensation pursuant

and having

not received

hann arising from Dynamic Airways'

s

, its failure

to act reasonably

to avoid damage,

and

its failure

to immediately refund airfnrcs, rc-book

and failure

to pay compensation

as al

l eged in this Complaint. 60.

A class action

is the best available method

for

t h e efficient adjudication

of thi

s litigation because individual litigation

of Class members' claims would

be impructicublc

and individual litigation would

be unduly **bun.lcnsom~:**

# of **Lh~:**

of each individual

Class member's claims,

it would

not
be practicable

for Class members

to individually

seck legal redress

for the wrongs identified

in this Complaint. Without

the class action vehicle,

the Class would have

no reasonable remedy

and would continue

to suffer losses

, as Dynamic Airways continues

to fail

to compensate passengers us required under

the Montreal Convention

and Exhibit

A. Further, individual litigation

has the potential

to result

in inconsistent

or contradictory judgments.

A class action

in this case presents fewer management problems

and provides

the benefits

of
