Who the hell would buy them? Nobody wants 50 seat RJ's with gas prices the way they are, and for some reason, there are only 2 US airlines actively pursuing Turboprops (Horizon and Colgan/Pinnacle/Continental).
I see 0 demand for an moneymaking operation made up of a 17 year old fleet of efficient, established turboprops.
I see even less demand for a fleet of RJs.
Time to file that single carrier petition... Yesterday....
Here is part of the problem with shutting down PSA and Piedmont to a certain extent. Unless Airways goes back into BK, it will be pretty hard to get rid of the leases on the airframes. All PSA aircraft are leased and I believe some of the Dash metal is as well. These aircraft are on the books for UsAirways, not PSA or Piedmont. Parker, or Tilton for that matter, can not go to the leasor and say we don't want these anymore without a BK filling. And a BK filling will be pretty tough considering the amount of nonrestricted funds both companies have.
