Mesa/go Getting Bigger Aircraft

A 190 would be ok under the contract, the 195 is not. My bet is the article got it wrong and Mesa is looking at the 190, not the 195. Think about it, why would the choice be a 90 seat CRJ-900 or a 116 seat E-195? Big gap between the two. More likely they are deciding between the -900 and -190.

You read it here first.

Within the next 5 years you'll see 100+ seat equipment flown by Mesa either in Mesa colors or Go colors or something else, but NOT as fee for departure and NOT under contract to a mainline.

There you go, don't say I didn't warn you.

I don't disagree. Even without a change to the DALPA contract, Mesa could operate the E-190 at up to 106 seats. And they could aways take the Indy route and go without the Delta Connection contract.
