Chautauqua in Phoenix?

[suswims]

I heard the rumor they were possibly moving there, any input?

 

[Turkey Shoot]

Not likely. Once Mesa buys Shaniqua, there will be no reason to place them there.

Could be a possibility depending on where US Air wants the 175 flying to go.

Maybe they will go there under another codeshare. I thought Mesa had PHX locked up for America West. Not sure if that will/has changed with the new US Airways...

Well MESA may not be around much longer if everyone keeps getting rid of their services. UA at the end of the year, US probably not much after that, DL getting ready to kick F8 to the curb in another month or so. And lets not even start on the Go fiasco.

UA is dumping Mesa? Source?

MESA management at IAD.

Thats good news as long as Geux Jet isn't picking up the slack. Could it be why SkyWest is hiring so much lately?

There have been IAD rumors regarding SKW, but nothing confirmed yet.

Yeah this could be just as viable as anything else. At times it's easy to forget that Airways isn't purely "East Coast" anymore, and that Chautauqua, although historically aligned with Airways for the past 32 years, could be reallocated out West. At the same time though with these 175s one has to consider what Airways wants in LGA in light of renewed talk of the "larger" aircraft stipulations being discussed there.
