Not sure how accurate the profile info is here but it shows that Mesa has a measly 14 200’s on property. Other carriers have hundreds. Don’t know how many are flying for Go!. I wouldn’t be surprised if in BK, the 200’s are parked. Now Mesa has right-sided it’s platforms for the flying the codes want and we’re all competing against a debt free, post BK Mesa that has something to prove.
You’re right about the contracts up for renewal, don’t know the time frame on them, but everybody has to go through that ringer, and to go into a bid without trying to find a home for 200’s doesn’t seem like it’s a bad thing, ah the pleasures of regional flying.
