Company has been offered 200 flying and JO turned it down. They have no reason, need, or want to take on more 200's. Why take a old outdated inefficient aircraft when we could have new aircraft with long term contracts. Future is with the +50 seaters. If Mesa agrees to more e jets they will have to fly them for the price that they quoted United 2 years ago. That is just what we were told at least
If this is indeed true this is the best decision they've ever made.
