An email from Ornstein to Mesa employees- taken from another message board:

I thought everyone would enjoy seeing this terrific news! Over the last few years all of our airline partners have been significantly restructured primarily due to bankruptcy. Mesa has had work through each of these situations - and as we all know it is not always been easy. We have moved 59 aircraft out of USAIR, 18 aircraft to CLT from PHX, and most of our UAX operation has migrated East as a result of our expansion with United and our replacement of Atlantic Coast in IAD. We have all worked hard to provide our airline partners with the best possible product at the most attractive cost. I am very pleased to tell you our efforts have been successfull on a number of fronts - most notably as reported in this press release with our partners at Delta. Over the next 18 months approximately we will be adding 20 aircraft into our Delta operation - the remaining 6 ERJs currently flying with UA and 14 brand new 76 passenger CRJ 900s. In addition Delta reaffirmed our existing contract for 30 aircraft with only minor modifications involving the reduction of 8 aircraft three years from now. Not all of Delta's regional partners fared as well as we did - in fact, some (Republic and Comair) actually lost flying. This new flying will provide additional opportunities for many of our people including approximately 100 captain upgrades, 100 new FO positions, approximately 170 new flight attendant positions, 50 additional positions in maintenance and 20 in SOC - in total over 500 new jobs at our company. I waould like tot hank each of you contributing to our success - if we continue to work together I am confidant we will see additional new opportunites that will provide both growth and job security for all of us. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Congratualtions! Jonathan
