Keep in mind that the new UAL is now on the hook for lease payments on all 274 ERJ (actually, they own about a dozen). The first head lease doesn't expire on the first ERJ until 2014 and the 274th expires in 2022.

If that is the case, I hope a company other than SKW buy Mesa. Its a shame that companies see employees that are innocent of the decisions of their management's decision be treated with such disregard. I would love to have a company like XJT or any other regional that would welcome their employees, regardless of whether they are union or not.
