Under the US Airways contract with Mesa, it can reduce its CRJ fleet by one aircraft in any six-month period. One CRJ-200 already was removed from service in January and a second will be removed in September and a third in January 2010, Mesa said. “We anticipate that US Airways will continue to further reduce the number of covered aircraft in accordance with the agreement,” Mesa said in the filing.
