Possibly.
Keeping in mind they could:

*Blow shareholder money on a failed IndyAir II experiment
*Sell the orders/options to airlines around the globe
*Cancel the orders/options and likely pay little to no penalty since they likely were fantasy press release orders to begin with, unless one of the above options can somehow materialize
*Sit back and hope legacy airlines figure out how to gut their scope clauses to go for the money shot that's somehow eluded them all these years. Oh right, ASA and Mesaba flew Bach jets once and CMR almost bought Spirit and/or TWA, so there's that.
Of all their options, Mesabah's worst case scenario is by far the least likely.
