Supposedly there is a big announcement being made next month. Some rumors on what it can be is:
Mesa shutting down
Mesa merging with commute air
United buys Mesa
Mesa selling all CRJs in one go, and having only an all ejet fleet
Aviate removing Mesa, and United making Mesa being the only regional where there will be a 100% guarantee flow to United in order by seniority number
Can be one, none, or a combination of these.

Something like that could happen.
I suppose they could. Or just provide a cash infusion. They don't seem to be interested in the WO business model like AA.
Why do that for mesa but not the others?

A flow would have to be agreed by the UA pilots and none of us want that.

I don't see any business incentive to merge when you could whipsaw the two against each other. CommuteAir has a near-operational 170 training program. Mesa and CommuteAir management get pulled into a conference with SK and get asked who can fly the 170 for cheaper. If it's Mesa, CommuteAir goes out of business, the 145 dies, and their pilots get a "preferential interview" at Mesa. If it's CommuteAir, the 145 lives on and the 170s at Mesa move over to CommuteAir and Mesa's pilots get to reinterview. Pilots from the losing side start over at year one pay and United saves the administrative costs from orchestrating a merger by letting one management team survive while the other one goes to bankruptcy court. In the meantime, mainline A319s and 737s pick up the slack for the year or two it takes to get the surviving regional back. Not what I want, but just my two cents.

The pilots of Mesa and Commute wont staff each others airplanes. Those days are gone (for now).
