I got lucky - I was in the A/B Concourses about 1pm and went over to A6 to see what was happening. The hats and bumper stickers were being given away (limit of 6 on the hats and all you could carry on the stickers). There were hundreds of DH crew and staff buying stuff, hugging-and-crying, taking pictures. Very emotional, obviously...
Don't they realize they can fetch a nice sum for it on eBay?
Speaking of company store sales and auctions, I've heard that the jet trucks are likely to be auctioned. Not sure at what date and time this will happen, but I know from the thread below there are some interested parties.
The real question is, who wouldn't want a jet truck?

I was employed in ACA-Indy for 5 years. I have been collecting stuff all this time. Stuff you normally dont see. HeHe......In 5 years it should be worth something.... but right now if you go on Ebay. Everyone and their mother has something and wants to sell sooo I am waiting to sell stuff
Indeed. I'm very interested to see what the final bids will be for those. There are 18 (originally 20).
Cheers.
Actually, the company is still in posession of 19 trucks and all 20 tails. However, one truck is not drivable and at time of shutdown was waiting for transport to IAD for maintainence.
Can anyone if you know about DH will be gone with concourse A/B at IAD? Which airlines will be taken over at old concourse A/B? I'm sure about Jetblue will expand more some new routes at IAD will taken over at concourse A or B.
But, I don't normally fly on Independence Air very often. I dislike that airlines for flying from IAD hub. When I saw DH were there some airport at ATL, TPA & LAS. It was very comfortable the CRJ-200 aircraft.

Yes, but I figured no one would be interested in a truck not fit to drive. I guess, I could be wrong...

Went to FedEx at IAD last night and saw all the DH ground equipment -- baggage carts and loaders, etc. -- and FlyI trucks all in a lot near the Dulles Exxon. Drove down to HQ, and the sign is still lit, with many RJs parked near the hangar. When I flew in on Wednesday, there were still many clustered around terminal A. Sad.

From my sources.. Terminal A is being sought out by UAL and the B concourse JetBlue has taken over our old gates. My opinion is that JetBlue will take over A concourse because its closer to them in B plus they are using the 190's now to BOS....Let see.
