Do they own any airframes anymore or are they all OO/UA owned now?

I’m still under the impression AW is being queued up for a G7 collapse.
Why would the 550 necessarily go to one company over another if G7 were to fail? Couldn’t they just as easily go to Mesa or SkyWest as they could go to Air Wisconsin? I’m not wishing harm to employees at any company, but in an industry where the legacies seem to be consolidating their regional feed, why would they keep it spread out rather than further consolidate it? Couldn’t we expect that equipment to be open for bidding? Why would United shift those assets to Air Wisconsin if Mesa for example were to do the job for less and allow further consolidation?
