Is that a failure of management? Ultimately.
If you look at the Mesa cancellations in the portal, they are mostly coded as maintenance cancellations, with a few daily crew cancellations on top of them. Roughly a 80/20 split. They just don't seem to have the capability to fly the schedule they are given.
100% agree, it's ultimately a management issue.
