"ASA will begin operating as a United Express carrier starting in the first quarter of 2010. All of the 13 regional jets are intended to be in operations by May of 2010. SkyWest anticipates that ASA will operate these aircraft under a capacity purchase agreement, for five years, and it is anticipated that they will be compensated in similar fashion to the SkyWest Airlines current agreement."

So ASA found a home for 14 (1 spare) of the 20 jets. This is good news for us but I doubt it will lead to any call backs. Between PBS and the net loss of 6 aircraft in the spring there won't be a need for more pilots.

Still though good news for us since it'll shorten recall times

What does this mean for Mesa?
