Don't they realize they can fetch a nice sum for it on eBay?

Jet Trucks
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.

I think I need that extra tail!
The stray tail would make a great lawn ornament. The neighbors would love it 
.
Seriously, I miss seeing them around town!

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.

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.
