Mesa’s last flight for AA is supposed to be April 1st. It appears that Envoy and PSA are picking up Mesa’s former flying in DFW, Envoy and SkyWest are picking up Mesa’s AA flying in Phoenix, and Air Wisconsin is picking up Envoy’s E145 flying in ORD. I don’t know all of Air Wisconsin’s plans but their CRJ 200s won’t directly fill in for Mesa’s departing CRJ 900s. AA is calling the shots and it’s way too early to accuse any one carrier of not doing their part.
Envoy is predicting they will have 12 hard lines in PHX in May and June, 21 in July, and 22 in August. That’s not a very big presence at the moment.
