Mesaba has done Montana cities before but currently we don't go to any of those. VPS was an old Avro city. Starting March 1 we are also showing, CLT (old Avro city) and LEX (was a Saab city out of MEM) out of the DTW 900 bid packages.

Yeah, I flew quite a bit to FCA in 2007. XJ's been doing it since Dec 2007 or Jan of 2008 I think, can't recall when exactly we started flying there but I know it was winter . PHX starts in Feb. Wouldn't surprise me if Compass and XJ both share flying to LAS and SFO after a while.

Mesaba only did GTF and FCA for a few months in 2008. Since then it has been Compass. Not sure if that will change back.

Reduction in hours

A little off the subject but did anyone notice (at least for the 200) that the line hours have been reduced in February to under 75 credit hours from the previous month of an average of over 80 credit hours. Anyone know if this is normal for the season or if it is an indication of some sort?

If I had to guess the CRJ200s are eventually going back to 9e where they came from and XJ will probably get some CRJ900s in return. I also heard XJ might get some more Saabs. This is not confirmed but been hearing it from management types in the last few weeks.
