I think that would be a rumor. Everyone loves to start rumors that Mesa is losing their flying. I don't think they lost any United flying. I am not 100% positive on it but I would guess it was one of those Mesa is going under fast rumor. They are struggling like a lot of others but still around. Which is actually shocking since they are bleeding in Hawaii.
I also heard that SkyWest was bidding on some US Airways (Mesa) flying but obviously Mesa didn't lose that either because Mesa is still in PHX in mass quantities. The rumor was that October 08 was when the change would occur but I am starting to think it was all false.
You can almost always assume when it involves Mesa losing flying to ....fiill in the blank with any regional, it is false. They are usually started by a ****ed off former FO from Mesa. I know they hated it there but what do they expect with 300 TT and 50 ME. Sorry to get off track but just wanted to point out that there are a million Mesa losing flying rumors out there. They are usually not true.
