I wonder if their condition and deteriorating situation could actually put some of their flying at risk. E.G. the United flying.
I wonder of some companies (ZW....) are salivating at the chance of getting a piece of that pie if Mesa were to start to crumble.
BTW, for the insiders, are they really having a hard time staffing the airplanes? Are new pilots still getting hired? Why would someone go there since all the other (better) regionals are hiring?
Not the beat the dead horse, but this situation makes me wonder a bit. What does United think? Or US Airways?
