Na, it would mean we're finally properly staffed
You're right, its highly unlikely we will find a new home for the 200s unless one thing happens. As bad as it sounds, our only hope is to have another regional airline fail and we take over with our extra planes. Best and only case scenario.

I'd rather wait longer to get recalled than see anyone else out on the street due to a failure.

There is NO airline on this planet that will take on more 50's, especially a small fleet of 12 or so planes.
Those planes are goners, and come next summer, unless there is attrition or a large increase in block hours for the remaining 50's, or more 900's, look for another 100 pilots to hit the street.

That was explicitly NOT the impression that I got from that investor call. It was NEVER stated that the planes would be flown at all by ASA pilots. I got the impression that they were sold, possibly to a foreign carrier. All that was said was they found a place to send 7 or 8 of those planes.
