I'll add a couple new rumors to the list:

1. Airways is moving from the current terminal in LGA to the Marine Air Terminal on the other side of the field so that Delta can be closer to the NW terminal due to the merger. If this happens, what is the food situation like over there? Anyone know? Hopefully its better than the McDonalds/pizza/chinese combo we have now.
2. Airways is seriously considering using Bombardier's life extension program on the Dash which would include newer avionics, interiors and engines.

As far as new airplanes, I, too, have heard the rumor. Supposedly they found some airplanes at a good price. Tyrolean Airlines, over in Europe, is actually getting rid of all their 300s to replace with 400s...coincidence? Probably, but its interesting nonetheless.

Now I'm not saying I believe any of these rumors. I am as pessimistic as the next guy about the future of PDT. However, at least these rumors are different than the usual flowthrough/Q400 B.S. we all talk about every day and I thought I would pass them on.
