AP for the last 3 weeks has been unusually boring. I think they are simply not answering any further questions about furloughs/new planes/future plans. There has literally only been 6-8 questions for the last 3 weeks, and no real information that would be news to anyone. As far as the 200 rumor goes, its still floating around the line, but nobody seems to have any evidence other than 'i heard from so & so'.

Honestly, I think just as likely is that in order to save Mesa, Airways sells the PDT fleet and allows mesa to operate those 50 seat CRJs on PDT routes. Airways then wouldn't have to worry about replacing mesa's 90 seaters if mesa does go BK. Really Airways doesn't have any ability to replace that Mesa flying, and 30-something 90 seaters is a whole lot of flying. Surely mesa would be so thrilled to stay alive they would agree to further concessions in order to bring their 50 seaters to PDTs routes, and to boot Airways may actually make some short term cash in selling the DHC8-100s. Another "Liquidity Improvement Program". It may not be flowers and sunshine, but really I think its just as likely a scenario as PDT getting Mesa's dashes.
