I travel PHX-AUS about once a month to see family. I bought a ticket a week or two ago for the upcoming Easter holiday and received an e-mail from HP this morning saying that I needed to contact them due to a schedule change. I just called and found out that my return, originally a 737 on Monday morning, has been downgraded to a CR9. The only 737 they have doesn't leave until Monday evening, so I had to have them change the flight to Sunday evening. So a route that just a few years ago was 3 737 and 1 CRJ daily, went to 2 737 and 2 CRJ, is now down to 1 737 and 3 CRJ daily. I don't understand this because the flights that I'm on are often oversold and they're asking for volunteers. I don't understand how HP expects to compete with WN on this route when they're sending a bunch of Mesa junk on this route. I hope this is a temporary change because if it's not, I'll be switching to WN on this route in the future. At least they don't fly RJs!
