Piedmont to buy Mesa??
I heard this today. Supposedly there will be an announcement tomorrow.
I have no supporting evidence that this it true but the theory seems plausible.

If you meant PDT then I highly doubt it... they are taking over the Mesa ground ops in PHX... but as far as flying I highly doubt it... being wholly owned PDT buying Mesa would be Us Airways buying Mesa and it would cost Airways more to operate the current flights than what they are paying Mesa.

From Airliner.net
Earlier today Mesa Airlines informed their employees that they will discontinue passenger service and ground
handling operations in PHX, effective April 6. Piedmont Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of US Airways, will
assume the PHX US Airways Express passenger service and ground handling operations.
Piedmont will extend job offers to approximately 350 Mesa employees in good standing. The remaining 13 field stations with direct US Airways Express service from PHX will participate in a competitive bid process, which will include Piedmont, to determine who will handle passenger service and ground operations. All stations will transition from Mesa to the new handler by June 2011.
With this move Piedmont will now manage US Airways Express passenger service and ground handling operations in all three hubs; CLT, PHL and PHX.
Field stations up for ground handling bid
Bakersfield, Calif. (BFL) (3 average daily departures)
Durango, Colo. (DRO) (2)
Des Moines, Iowa (DSM) (2)
Fresno, Calif. (FAT) (5)
Flagstaff, Ariz. (FLG) (6)
Guadalajara, Mexico (GDL) (1)
Grand Junction, Colo. (GJT) (3)
Guaymas, Mexico (GYM) (1)
Hermosillo, Mexico (HMO) (1)
Monterey, Calif. (MRY) (2)
Palm Springs, Calif. (PSP) (6)
Santa Barbara, Calif. (SBA) (5)
San Luis Obispo, Calif. (SBP) (2)
Yuma, Ariz. (YUM) (6)
