A very good point. Well put. Everyone is forgetting that Mesaba is still getting the additional 5 CRJ9s after the initial 36 Mesaba received making Mesaba the largest CRJ900 operator in the US. ATL is DAL's HQ and now that the oil price has come down MD88s can cover the routes with more seats than CRJ9s. Mesaba getting 5 CRJ900 based out of SLC is a first step in Mesaba's growth towards the West.
Everyone needs to calm down and wait it out. I suspect next few months will reveal a clearer picture.
