look for mesa to crater on monday. again, trajan "the wrong" gave you bad info. this is from aviation week:

"Yesterday, AviationWeek exclusively reported that Mesa will no longer operate CRJ200s or Bombardier Dash 8-200 turboprops - a total of 36 airframes - for United starting in May of next year, and that Mesa will be unable to meet its capital requirements if it cannot place these aircraft into another revenue-guarantee contract.

The regional is also battling to retain its contract with Delta, and is currently embroiled in legal action to stop the Atlanta-based carrier from ending Mesa's ERJ-145 operation. Mesa's 50-seat jets, which it also operates for US Airways (10 CRJ200s) and its own Hawaiian operation (five CRJ200s), account for 84 of the 178 aircraft in the company's fleet.

AviationWeek now also has discovered that Mesa, in a note to employees detailing the loss of the two United contracts, said it had stopped ground training while it evaluates its fleet plan and staffing requirements."

this means that united plans on ending the mesa contract. i would not look for any 50 replacement flying to be added, contrary to what trajan "the always wrong" said. this news reinforces what i have been saying. the 50 seat game is over. the skyw deal with airtran is a good example. skywest is bearing all the risk of the flying. no major wants 50 seat jets. the regionals just want to keep them flying until the leases run out. i guess the hope it to lose less money flying them, than letting them sit.

trajan "the wrong" was bragging about his position in mesa.

not anymore.
