PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mesa Airlines announced today it will open a new crew domicile in Atlanta, Georgia (ATL) in June 2018. The additional crew domicile is in response to the Company’s expansion of flying with United Airlines. Mesa currently has crew domiciles in Phoenix (PHX), Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), and Washington Dulles (IAD), and recently announced Louisville (SDF) opening in early 2018.

Followed by a quote from J.Ornstein, "We are delighted to add Atlanta to our list of domiciles. We currently have a significant number of crew members who live in the Atlanta metro area who will likely find this new base attractive. In addition, we believe this new domicile will help us recruit high quality pilot and flight attendant applicants for our continued expansion,” said Jonathan Ornstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mesa Airlines.

If UAL goes into ATL with a hub/spoke in mind they better be prepared to have some serious resources ready to go....
