Since the announcements have come out that the YV UAL DH8 operation is getting pulled down, I've started looking for these aircraft on aircraft brokeage sites even though the exit from service is still a way's off. If my recollection is correct, several of the PDT lease returns in the last year showed up available online before they left the PDT fleet. If we don't see the YV ones up anywhere, who knows, maybe a deal is already done, PDT or otherwise.
