You will discover that the fares charged on established Mesa routes are
considerably higher than the introductory fares charged here in Hawaii.
The comparisons don't make sense. The code-share flights PHX-TUS/FLG have their prices set by US Airways, and Mesa gets paid a flat amount for the flight.
The Mesa Airlines independent flights are EAS routes operated with 19-seat Beech 1900 aircraft.
