We can be 100% confident United will allocate for their strategic benefit. Unfortunately, none of us are privy to any closed door conversations between Mesa and UA. Market forces will send these jets to where they can provide the maximum net earnings to UA with the least amount of risk.
UA will need to cut/announce a deal soon as these are slotted for delivery in 2017.

Where these jets go will tell us more about Mesa's current health and potential future than just about anything else I can think of. I think we will not have long to wait.
