[This](http://www.thestreet.com/_tsclsii/markets/marketfeatures/10077277.html) article mentions that USAirways is expected to come out of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Monday. How - if at all - will that affect their stock, which has been off the market for several months (if not almost a year)?
Will it be listed again at the same price? Will it be dropped and totally new stock be re-issued? Will it be listed at a new price? Will it simply stay off the market?

It all depends upon their reorganization plan. Usually the common stockholders are last in line. Here’s what the SEC says about [Chapter 11.](http://sec.broaddaylight.com/sec/FAQ_20_260.shtm)
