Flying that is done right alongside PSA, AWC, Republic, and PDT. It makes more sence to take airframes and flying out of the eastside where there are plenty of other Airways regionals to pick it up should the flying that those 900's are doing now should not just be dropped. Which there is a good chance that Airways could be using this to take some flying out concidering they have said they want to cut seats.
I have double checked what I thought was the case here at Mesa, and we are indeed reducing -200's. There are only 5ish left (I'm never in PHX, too senior for my blood). The language surrounding it is in the 2007 annual report, for those interested.
The number of -900's for USAirways is stedy at 38, split between CLT and PHX. We have more block hours in PHX.
