Anyone heard if this might be true, and if so, could that already be starting? I know Mesa will need guys in PHX to cover the new LAX flying.
I have heard these same rumors as well.

I think the short answer is simply: Upgrades.

The rest of the rumors, in my opinion, has some truth behind them. PSA has 30(?) 900's coming in the next year plus. There isn't a lot of space left in CLT. PSA's planes are new NEXTGEN aircraft. Mesa has kept their new aircraft in PHX because they don't fit well at the gates (wingspan with the new winglets). It doesn't seem to be a smart idea to fly all of PSA's out of non-hub bases so a few of Mesa's planes would have to go for the PSA planes in CLT.

Mesa has not hid the fact they really want the west coast flying back and are willing to do what ever US/American asks. That might help them secure more west coast flying. Who knows what will happen next. I'm sure we will find out for sure at the last minute.........can you say Miami?????

The numbers going to PHX on the last and current vacancies roughly equal the number of PHX FOs upgrading in the next 2 months + the additional lines created by the introduction of LAX flying.

Now, if they go way over 7 on this vacancy, and keep putting people in PHX thereafter, then I'll start to believe there's some sort of realignment Westward happening--which would be great as far as I'm concerned, since I prefer to stay North of the Mason-Dixon and West of the Miss River as much as possible
