that's
IF mesa actually sees all 30 of those 175's on property(doubtful),
AND they miraculously are able to staff them (doubtful),
AND if United decides to let mesa operate the 175's for the full length of the agreement without whipsawing them to someone else (doubtful). That's an awful lot of grey area
