From all the rumors I've heard (which obviously are just rumors) we have as big a chunk of United flying as we're going to get.

The fact remains that UAL loves SKW.............say what you want but that has been historically proven and continues to be shown time and time again.
This has nothing to do with Mesa's flying. As UAL decreases their West Coast 737 flying there is only 1 airline ready to pick up the slack. TSA, RAH, GoJet, Mesa, XJT and AWAC will not benefit from SFO and LAX UAL flying; however they will benefit if Mesa loses ORD and IAD flying.
Also keep in mind that we have personnel, equipment and operations already
in place out west, this will benefit UAL when it comes to cost. Now I'm not talking about a lot of flying but it will be some.
