As far as I know all the RJ's are gone. There may be a few sitting in the desert but I do know the airbus' were already sold overseas before the airline liquidated. It is the tightest market in 10yrs for aircraft. May I recommend contacting someone like Seabury Group in VA. There pretty good. Talk to Jim Laos. Never give up and all it takes is money and experience. Make sure you have an experienced management team. Also I am sure you did your questioneer to nail down market demand and target market but, if you have not may I recommend www.questionpro.com and use www.EXmmarketing.com to send your surveys they do a great job. Good luck out there and may I recommend these other websites.

I asked the MX guys if they knew where they were going, and they had no clue, and said they hadn't received any orders to make them ready. The planes were taped up and looked like they were set for long term storage, so my guess is that they are still up for grabs. You don't work for Cape Air, do you? |
no not cape air.. .to be honest with you, never set a foot in ANY cessna and unless a citation X comes along, i dont plan to... for some reason, in this neck of the woods, they go down a lot... cape air obviously only uses cessna twins, not to mention way the hell out on "the cape"

captjns i have no idea what you are talking about - we all know that the problem is that there are way too many pilots as well as too much capacity right now (and growing).. i mean whatever i shouldnt have to explain this pick up a newspaper or something i dont know. maybe take ECO101 too...

Actually just the opposite, the leases on some on the -200's are running out so they're adding more Allegheny -100's. N906HA (or 907 if forget which) is the highest time dash 8 -100 in the world and is still alive and kickin'
