You might be able to bribe the judge though ShyGuy!
If that is true then the costs to park the planes may well be as much or more than the cost to fly them at a loss. Chapter 11 may be a short pitstop on the way to chapter 7 and the unemployment line.

Sometimes putting the beast down is the most humane. Not that I want to see it happen, but shutting down the company would make my (and I presume many other folk's) decision a great deal clearer.

Just an interesting read, nothing more, not hinting at anything. Just an interesting read. That's all.

416 turboprops? Are they counting every charter plane in the country too? Chautauqua long since dumped it's last prop, Mesaba recently did too, Eagle parked all Saabs a few years back and looks to be dumping all ATR's, ASA a few years back dumped all thier ATR's, ACA went T.U. PSA and Comair long since switched to CRJ only fleets. Who is left? Commutair with a few DH8-200, Skywest with some E120's that are getting long in the tooth, Piedmont that with the slot swap may be a memory soon, and Colgan that the sharks are already circling if the rumors are true.
I mean are we counting Porter, Peninsula, Bearskin, and Westwind up in Canada to pad the numbers?
