[QUOTE=LAX1K to AmWest]This is something I was afraid of... Mesa's pull in the new US AIRWAYS. I believe they are one of the "equity owners" and I am sure they are taking alot of the routes that US/HP won't fly Mainline on due to aircraft shortages.


I am doing this from memory but I do not believe Mesa has equity in US. A regional does, Air Wisconson maybe? Mesa's contract with US is up this summer and they will be gone. HP's Mesa contract doesn't expire for 4 more years or there about. US will only be flying the portion they are still contractualy obligated to. Now once combine what or where they can fly I have no idea. But Doug Parker did say long before the merger that HP had more Mesa flights than he wants and he has tried to negotiate them away unsuccessfuly. With US having 2 regionals I would think that will be it by the time all other contracts expire.
