Unfortunate news indeed.
Remember,
- Mesa 200 frames won't be replaced.
- Nothing specifically says the Dash has been extended. That contract ends 06/12.
- The first round of 700s contract is up next year and Mesa has suggested subleasing them.
- Mesa still is in BK and nothing is final yet in regards to the POR or this extension.
