I heard about this when I was jumpseating the other day from a very senior Mesa pilot. From what I hear they want Scenics 1900 routes and want to add more of their own out of VGT. They will go from VGT to GCN then on to HII where they already operate out of. The are not a tour operator and dont want to become one but GCN is the money maker destination so they will keep it. He said that they will also eliminate all the DHC-6 aircraft since Scenic doesnt own all of them anyway making them a all 1900 fleet. I guess the bad news is for the current Scenic pilots as Mesa doesnt want to continue paying the Scenic pilots what they currently make. All Scenic pilots will have to reinterview for FO positions with Mesa. It sucks when some company buys another and then they throw out the old pilots like trash. The word from him was that the owner is selling all of his aviation businesses. He just sold an FBO or buildings or both at LAS for $60 million. The word is too that they want the VGT property for a cheap turboprop MX base and for reservations or something.
