Nobody knows. Cheif pilots don't even know. It's all speculation on what will happen to IAH

That would really suck if Mesa, got the contract and reduced the skywest flying out of IAH.

There's a docket showing all the IAH MEXICO flying going to Mesa starting in June to be flown in their 175's.

That is entirely mainline's call. I highly doubt Mesa management can just waltz into a United hub and strong arm the express feeder routes. That's not how this works.

Well unfortunately the reduction has to come from somewhere with half the UA 700s leaving the UA system this year.

for as long as the regional airline business model will exist, they will constantly shuffle contracts from one carrier to another, if anything just to keep wages down so that there is no stability and an "all eggs in one basket" risk..

Classy; thanks for the heads up. Guess it'll make for an interesting summertime carrier decision.
