Just more rumor, but I've been hearing people coming out of the training center saying that PHX has been pushed back 10 weeks. I didn't know they had an original date to begin with. Supposedly, they are trying to figure out if it's still going to be possible because Mesa's 200's are in such bad shape, it is going to cost way more than expected to get them up to par. Again, all water cooler talk, but just thought it was interesting.

Hey can any of you guys flying out there post on "Ask Piedmont" if they are anticipating more recalls for the Spring/ Summer? And if so roughly how many, and when? Then when they answer report back here?

Thanks to anybody who posts it up.

Referencing the link I posted awhile back to the AvMax Canada (lessor) website, the 3 ex-PDT, and soon to be ex-YV DH2's are no longer posted as available for lease in May.

I can give you the answer to that right now ... 'we continue to evaluate staffing levels month by month blah blah blah blah blah blah we have not plans unless something changes'

A simple no would have sufficed.

And now the three DHC8-102s that are "Contract Pending"? Can anyone look at the aircraft listing in appendix D of the ops specs to see if the MSN on those three aircraft are former PDT birds that could be coming back or maybe going to another carrier?

Avmax Group Inc.: Aircraft

Maybe its possible for a "contact pending" to indicate the return of three -102s to Avmax in exchange for signing a deal to pickup the three -201s to be used out West. Or possibly those three MSNs are not even PDT equipment, and some other carrier has picked up those three -102s for some reason.

Trent,

Looks like the contract pending ones are ex-PDT: Not sure where they are going, but they're not going to be sitting in YYC for long....
s/n 326=846EX (EBC)
s/n 388=825EX (EST)
s/n 343=851EX/964HA (guess this one left even further back)

SkyTrans Regional (Australia) has picked up a few other of the PDT lease returns as well, someone on here had mentioned 828EX, and I think 982HA went there as well
