How many air conditioning carts would that $2M buy? :D

US Airways didn't need the 25million from AWAC last time but what CEO is going to turn it down? Then 5 years later that same CEO is complaining about too many 50 seater RJ's.:confused:

Second, there was no net gain in 50 seaters; AWAC simply replaced MESA on the east coast.

And it has been referred to as 'pay to play' (doesn't make it right).
