American to incentivize Mesa to improve operationally

Looks like there's some good news coming Eagle flights operated by Mesa. AA has updated their contract with Mesa to incentivize operational improvement.

Mesa long has been among the lowest-cost U.S. regional airlines, and that made it popular when major carriers were losing money and prioritized cost over everything else.

As part of contract renegotiations, he said, Mesa will set aside two aircraft now flying as American Eagle as spares for American and United. Mesa also will increase the amount of “touch time” for each American Eagle aircraft, or time the jets spend in the hangar.

Mesa will receive extra payments from American if its reaches it goals.
