To be truthful its not just Mesa that needs to worry about this. Anyone that codeshares with a Major in trouble needs to worry. Just because your airline might have more cash in the bank doesn't do it any good if your source of income drys up over night. This is a very fluid time for the airlines and in the next year there will be a lot of changes, some good and some bad.
