of the meeting to Trips and that he "did not support implantation unless Trips were up and running first," and quoted that he spoke for all of industry on that matter. Ron and I attempted to explain the issues driving the implementation date and that if we missed 9/13, the next available date would likely be mid-2019 and that would jeopardize the project. The discussion became non-productive and I (as NATCA) called the meeting and walked out for lunch. The afternoon meeting was able to stay focused on the specific agenda that was set prior, and we were able to accomplish what we were there to do. The team coordinated the new implementation plan with NAV Canada this past week. They can support the plan but will need to change the previously coordinated production slots originally set in the event that problems with the procedures need to be corrected. The new chart date will likely be in August of 2019. Everything else involving NAV Canada appears to be on target. We are still working with Gary Fisk and Ron Singletary on updates on the safety study that was conducted at DTW for the operation of trips. We were told on 2/7 that the document of the study was in the "review and signature stage," and that we should hear something soon. I have been in touch with the RVP/ARVP to see if they could put some pressure on their counterparts to get this thing moving so we can start to plan to go or no go with trips.
