PHX flying
 
If Mesa goes belly-up sometime in the next year, which is becoming more and more of a possibility by the minute. . . any speculation as to who might get the PHX flying?

AWA/Airways has been talking on-and-off to SKW about that for years.

But it could really go to anybody, depending on what airplanes they want there. The original 900 presence was conceived pre-merger, not sure how important that is in PHX today since they moved a bunch of them east post-merger.

The most brilliant move would be for Horizon to move down there since they wanna stay west coast. But AAG drags thier feet more than a drunk seal so I doubt it would happen.

I don't see it happening but who knows, it would be great for you guys seeing it would decrease your upgrade time and help to pack the bank with some of Parkers money.

My opinion is that SKW will get the majority of the PHX and LAS flying with RAH taking the rest. I also see AWAC and PSA picking up the slack out east.

I am sure your right.

Hey, who knows, best of luck to you guys.

I'm head back to the Bro where I will be bidding and hopefully holding the best 121 flying in the NATION! That's PDX and SEA. IMO and I've been based in FAT, DEN, SLC, TUS and ATL; PDX flying is the best, bar none!

The last thing they need is Another regional feed. I would expect to see it covered by a combination of expanded WO's (maybe PDT will finally get their 400's!), AWAC, and Republic.

No way! I highly doubt that...

Which part? The one about PDT getting 400's or the one about USAir doing something that makes sense? I won't argue either one. :D

Hmmmmmmm.......ya? That's makes no sense. :confused:

And I'm not talking about what make sense the airlines don't do. The argument that US doesn’t need another feeder doesn't hold that much weight when you look at many factors, one being the ability to whipsaw while limiting ones restraints.
