Looking back at the last time a regional went BK (Independence/ACA?) it was definitely a hands-down Ch. 7 affair. The CRJs were parked for years and the A319's were simply transferred by the leasing companies to different airlines as fast as they could get repainted. They had the place stripped and buttoned up really quickly. There wasn't really anything there that didn't get reposessed immediately by the owning company.
