Default Dash 8 Crew Bases for Mesa

Last I heard Mesa only had DEN, GJT and PHX as Dash 8 bases, is that still true or is there something else in the future for the Dash and MESA.
Thanks
A

China is mostly what the future holds for Mesa's aircraft.

There is no good reason to start at Mesa these days. Friends don't let friends fly for Mesa.

What you said above is true. What will happen in the future is unclear. The dash contract with United is up for renewal or cancellation in April.

Yea, who knows what the future holds for us. The rumor that the 1900 will be sold off has resurfaced yet again, so that they can shanghai the pilots to fly in the jets. Will the same happen for the D-8??? It happened in JFK... lured a bunch of Eagle FO's to be D-8 CA's and about 6 months later they canned the D-8 operation in JFK all together. Now those CA's are right back to FO's... shoulda stayed at Eagle. Good luck with that...

I talked to an Air Midwest CA a few weeks ago saying that he was soon to get 90 seat pay because Mesa was seat locking him in the 1900. Then on the other hand Air Midwest is losing EAS bids to a Caravan outfit and flat out pulling out of other EAS cities. Sounds fantastic!
