Mesa

Why do you think Mesa is behind on the E 175 program?
Mesa already operates 200's.

Mesa will add 10 - additional CRJ 900's from May thru December of this year.

You say 10. Only 4 have been announced, but rumors of 10. Where are the others rumored to be going? What do you know about it?

Just curious, where did you read this? I had not heard this.

I think Mesa will already have a heck of a time staffing the 30 E175's as well as the 4 addtional CRJ 900's and any attrition to come about with new pilots. Mesa already had a hard time just finding them for the 9 CRJ 900's we finally got staffed 6 months after the last one came online. All the regionals are already having a hard time finding pilots with 1500 hours. So I think that Airways dropping Skywest and giving more flying to Mesa is next to impossible for Mesa to handle at this point in the game.

and you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.....

FWIW, the 175's are United's aircraft. Mesa is just crewing the planes. If there are multiple delivery shifts due to Mesa's 175 program, it's United's decision.

There will be a total of 10 (including the four recently announced) They will be in addition to the 30 E175's.

Mesa has a 10 year contract for these planes and an option for 30 more. They will be on Mesa's certificate and will be leased from UAL. Virtually every aircraft in the industry is leased from somebody. The contract can only be terminated for cause.

Just left a recurrent GS meeting with Senior Execs. Mesa is ahead of schedule on the 175 program. 1st aircraft to be delivered in April. Mesa has not shifted any dates.
