So how would PSA or any other carrier gain 70 plus seat flying with the current USairways contract being in violation?
Simple, USAPA will sign off on scope relief because if they don't the 900 flying goes out the door......again. I think this is all a contingency pending Mesa's survival. If they go tits up, someone will have to operate the 900s. I think Flannery and Parker boy want to keep them in house this time and I would venture to guess so does USAPA. If they don't grant scope relief then the 900 flying will get farmed out to the lowest bidder which there is already an RFP out on.
