That's my take. The two-per-year drawdown of mesa airplanes (allowed by the contract) started a year or two ago. In the absence of specific news about 900's going away, it is safe to assume that US will utilize the drawdown clause to get rid of two 50-seaters each year until 2012 (at which point mesa will likely be done with US, IMHO).
