PSA and PDT are very different from other contract airlines. We can only fly for US Airways and we don't have the job security of being able to fly for Delta/United/American. If US Airways goes bust then we do to. What should we get in return for the greater risk? I can't think of any benefit of working for a w/o. US Airways will not buy Mesa's 900's. AWAC might. So it doesn't really matter what people think about a merger with PSA/MESA/AWAC/PDT cause it isn't going to happen.
