PSA doesn't overnight in BGR. Just some turns out of DCA. BGR used to be a RJET run, but they cancelled the flight more than they completed it, so they got replaced.
Right now, it is the load factor that determines who gets what cities. PSA is only operating a handful of 200's right now. Quite a few are "parked" for various reasons (aka, we don't have enough pilots, and haven't bothered to put new engines in the 200's that need them).
If a city pairing will make more money with a 700 or a 900, PSA will likely get it over AWAC or PDT. If it rarely sells out, then it will be a 200 and AWAC or PDT will get it.
AWAC delivers a good product. You guys are just handicapped by your equipment and your management cost. (By this, I do not mean your pilot pay, but rather the fact that your company makes quite a bit of profit, and PSA technically makes zero profit).

Not exactly true. I did a BGR overnight the beginning of June out of PHL. That being said, I haven't seen anymore in either the July or August bids. Too bad, it's a good overnight.
