I was looking at it as Eagle would be the surviving carrier, therefore all of the PSA 700s WOULD be Eagle's.
As far as the 200s, why would AE want another 50 seater? They could stick one on a pole at Dayton ("This was the former HQ of a Pretty Stinky Airline"). Who knows what the demand would be after a merger? If there was a "synergy" to get the ax, Dayton HQ is #1 and the 200s would be #2. Didn't Eagle just reclaim some ERJs? They want 700s. It would be like Chautauqua wanting more 200s.
BTW, do the TRs work on the AE 700s?
