We have the CRJ and EJET on cert now. No 50 seaters to shed. JO's emails hint to the sky being the limit for new flying. I'm sure these first 30 175s are only the tip of the iceberg for 175 flying

Someone once asked a well known regional airline CEO what they thought would happen to Mesa back in 2010. (When all the dashs 200s and 145s were being parked) It was a general consensus in the room Mesa was done.

The CEO said "Mesa would be back and bigger than ever, and JO would be out for blood."
DL/UA can't add any more 175 flying, they are maxed out on scope. So, unless AA plans on sending 175 to Mesa, there's no iceberg to be seen.
