Fact is, pre Covid that ENY was flying 737 max routes and Mesa was flying 175 routes. It’s all unnecessary now.
FYI, that flying was given away because Mesa refused to let AAG not pay them for last second canceled flights because of low bookings, because the pilots are pay protected for cancellations. So AAG decided to put those flights on a carrier that agreed to wave the payment for a flight canceled by AAG the morning of.
