Well they are going to a fuel efficient fleet. It makes perfect sense. They are making money on the Dash 8's... Why would they want to give them up? Trust me, I wanted PDT to get these, but am not shocked that Mesa will continue to operate status quo for Airways.... Hopefully minus the exclusive west coast rights...... Maybe shove Mesa up to PHL/LGA....
That could be entertaining.....
