We could speculate all day on what the 201 on the checklist means or doesn't mean.

My opinion is they decided to put it on there when they first looked into taking over the west flying. That's all on hold now while they figure out what Mesa is going to do with their 200s. I think Piedmont was originally going to sublease the 200s from Mesa, but now that that they filed ch.11, Mesa is attempting to dump them all back to the leasing companies. If Airways is smart they may be able to negotiate something with those companies to immediately pick up the leases. Airways should avoid at all costs letting this issue sit for a while. As we have seen with the lease renewal, Tempe loves to lowball and if these planes interest another party then you can say adios to the 16 200s at Piedmont.
