It's of my very uninformed opinion that it is what is happening. The recent-ish united RFP that went to Mesa which may very well have been lower cost than compass was also largely decided due to the entire award going to 1 carrier. Compass had no interest in adding that much flying and still doesn't. What does interest them is 10-15 aircraft at most and that would be my assumption for the route they took with their finally announced bid on the american rfp.
