There’s no cost efficiencies through streamlining being realized here. Republic is effectively buying Mesa and supplanting Mesa operations with Republic operations at all levels.
UAL invests heavily in both. My guess is UAL got tired of floating Mesa financially and told Mesa and Republic to “figure it out”.
Republic will probably fly Mesa’s contracts to termination and get a chance to rebid on them when they come due.
