I am perplexed by the decision to move this thread out of the UA forum.

I belive the OP is discussing Mesa Air Group, Inc. of which Mesa Airlines is a part. Mesa also operates flights for US Airways Express, Delta Connection, and under the brand names Freedom Airlines, Air Midwest, and go!

I'm sure flyers from those programs would be interested as well.

I should have stated "Since Mesa also operates outside of United..."

Contracting out the regional operations is principally a way of reducing costs and risk. UX staff (especially pilots) don't get paid as well as UA staff, and UA has limited risk exposure on those flights since the UX partner gets a flat fee per flight.

AA, DL, and NW all own part of their regional operations. DL is trying to spin off Comair and sold ASA, while NW has been moving in the other direction by starting Compass and "adopting" Mesaba. Go figure.
