It's true but not for 10, I believe the number is lower. But they are saying they have to rebid the flying so just because they get the airplanes doesn't mean they actually have flying.

2. getting emb 170's (J.O. been in brazil lately)

Word is it did NOT work out.

3. getting more Delta flying

It's about as probable as Mesa buying Fedex.

4. getting DEN jet base

Who knows.

5. losing 20+ crj 200's

This could definitely be true. The fact that Mesa is trying to do a 3 for 1 deal for CRJ700s with 200s means they fully expect the cancellation of the 26 CRJ2s and 10 Dash 8s.

6. when do contracts end with Delta, UAL, US Air?

A few years. But I don't know if they have early outs
