Mesa is much more cost-effective than PSA. I don’t think we’re going to see any of those airplanes.

Maybe we would have gained some aircraft if we were able to gain additional block hours. That hasn’t happened yet. Maybe they figure it out in the future, maybe they don’t. But for now I don’t see much changing. I see AA restructuring some as they begin their recovery. What that looks like I have no idea. But they will place flying/airplanes at the carriers who are able to be flexible and respond quickly/efficiently to AA’s changing needs in a rapidly changing market. Not so sure PSA is able to be that airline for AA for a number of reasons that are far outside our control. So no sense worrying about any of it.
You can fly more with utilization efficiency gains. There are 7 crjs that mesa leases that could be moved to PSA at AA request but that’s it.
