Anything posted here is pure speculation and should be taken as nothing more, but I'd say all Mesa UAL and US Airways flying will be up for bid as their contracts expire. Mesa will not retain the flying and I'm sure most will agree. More CAL flying might be out soon although I hope XJT retains it, other than that I'm not sure. DAL is removing 35 regional a/c from service and flying (industry wide) for Jan is scheduled to be reduced by 4.4% over last year so I think there won't be much growth in 08 for regionals.

Just my opinion based upon simple facts.

United is supposed to cut about 8% of it's flights as well. Maybe this is all of Mesa's routes

I think their UAL contract is up in 2009 or 2010. I don't know about the USAirways flying.
