Mesa, Republic, and then SkyWest?
Is it safe to say that?
Is say in a day I've seen 2-3 Republic and maybe 1-2 SkyWest E-Jets in Houston. Mesa has them all.
Mesa, Republic and SkyWest are the only 3 E-Jet operators for United. All of the 3 have a sizable fleet of the type, but SkyWest and Republic have a few more of these birds than Mesa does right now.
Last time I checked, SkyWest E-175s don't touch IAH. Republic has had a small hub there ever since Continental and United merged, though they refuse to open a pilot domicile to go with their operation there... All of Mesa 48 E-175s are based at IAH.
