Sorry DashGirl, but those -900s do not belong to Airways in any way, shape or form. They are purely Mesa's property, however they are all leased equipment, so technically speaking some sort of lessor (bank or other financial instutution) actually owns these assets.

As such, Mesa's initial bankruptcy filing listed the leases for the -900 aircraft as possibly being up for rejection. No way would this have happened if Airways owned the aircraft. Again, the -900's are Mesa's and that is why they were included in MAG's bankruptcy case. Maybe you would understand more about how this whole process works if you were working for US Airways Group in the early 2000's when PDT was part of our own filing for bankruptcy I and II.

I also agree with the previous poster about being baffled on how in the world you think USAPA will give up on scope!?! How can you even say that without being a USAPA member that would have some sort of vote on that isssue one way or another?? The poor working conditions at your turboprop regional must be getting to you, because YOU are truly the one demonstrating your own fundamental lack of information!
