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.
US Airways is stuck with Mesa through 2011 and from what I've been told the contract has no loop holes when it comes to performance, unlike what DAL has built into contracts. So any US Airways/Mesa flying that’s out for bid would have to be additional flying.
BTW, mark my words, SKW will end up with US Airways flying by 2011. That is if US Airways is still around.
