It doesn't matter. Mesa would still want the carts hooked up as they run the APU at the gate because their APU "Doesn't cool the cabin enough". Rampers in CLT have actually gone out to take the aircart away Dash with an MEL'd APU because of the above reason.

It was just another form of "Pay for Training" but instead of pilots paying $25k for a job it's management at AWAC/Republic paying 25 million for a piece of the pie.
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.

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).

First off, Airways would have had a hard time emerging from CH.11 without the $125Million in exit financing provided by AWAC.
