SkyWest Airlines is moving CRJ-900's to ATL to back fill for ASA's pending new CRJ-900's and FAA approval to operate them.
So, Mesaba is filling the void in SLC with their planes.
Why, you might ask, didn't SKW, Inc, just put the new -900's in ATL with SkyWest pilots? Because the deal involves parking twice as many -200's, and SkyWest is grossly overstaffed now.
To answer your question, no, Mesaba isn't "taking" SkyWest flying.
