And now the three DHC8-102s that are "Contract Pending"? Can anyone look at the aircraft listing in appendix D of the ops specs to see if the MSN on those three aircraft are former PDT birds that could be coming back or maybe going to another carrier?

Maybe its possible for a "contact pending" to indicate the return of three -102s to Avmax in exchange for signing a deal to pickup the three -201s to be used out West. Or possibly those three MSNs are not even PDT equipment, and some other carrier has picked up those three -102s for some reason.
