It would be really silly and the shareholders would revolt if they ditched all there UA flying for a hand-full of aircraft for a cargo operations.

FYI
75 CRJ 200s got the boot and Express jet took over that flying hence massive furloughs at Mesa about 11 years ago
Delta gave freedom the boot about 35 I believe EMB145s and took back their 22 CRJ9s that Mesa was flying out JFK
Check why Mesa went CH11
Easy they (UAL) can repeat that and even easier since they own most 175s that Mesa flies.
Ask the Mesa Management about that and while you are at it ask them about the 325 million settlement in Hawaii.

As has been said, Mesa flying 737’s has been a rumor for the better part of two decades. According to company lore, it might’ve almost come to fruition once upon a time if the union hadn’t been so insulted by the pay rates offered.
Personally I think there’s more validity to the A330 cargo rumor since I’ve seen the photoshopped A330 livery, but that just means more wishful thinking went into it. JO tried to evolve past codeshare in Hawaii, but it’s either not possible or he’s not the man for the job. Maybe both.
TL;DR Just what we need, a bunch of Mesa 737’s flying around. Also, who the hell wants >79 seats/cargo equivalent at a regional?

Once upon a time
112/hr for a 12 year captain
Very generous by Mesa management.....sarcastic obviously
When I heard that at ALPA National I was laughing however some of your 12 reps at the time...yes some like 2 I believe who are currently JetBlue captains were ready to go for it and that was pathetic.
