Default MESA shrinking?

Rise of the ULCCs ? US Airline Rankings by Size ? Visual Appraoch

Mesa's sized rank fell in 2017, this looks to continue in 2018.

From a pilot perspective, been watching all the CRJ bases shrink for the past 12 months. That should be expected given the best flying for AA are going to their wholly owned regionals. It is obvious AA, like Delta, is minimizing their use of non-owned regionals.

Only IAH has grown from a pilot perspective. If we start losing United flying to Republic, I suspect you will see the pilot growth reverse there.

Other regionals have faster upgrades (Envoy, SkyWest, Compass) than Mesa, better benefits, better pay, and better QOL (except for SkyWest’s reserve pilots rules are much worse than Mesa’s).

With SkyWest opening DFW later this summer, I am thinking about leaving myself.

This is an industry that's very cyclical. Years ago, Delta, American, Continental had their own regionals. When Comair when on strike, Delta wanted ASA to pick up those routes, ASA said No! That ****ed Delta off, so Delta started putting the squeeze in Comair until it killed it, then it was ASA's Some how they convinced Skywest to buy it, they inturn turned it into Express Jet. Soon, after that, the other carriers started dumping their, commuter airlines. Now they are all buying it back...lol like the joke says. Best way to make a million in an airline, start with 2 million.
You'll have 1 left overy after 6 months.
