A bit of background: Mesaba is currently acquiring 15 CRJ-200's, and will have a total of 17 by July 2008. (Mesaba is also acquiring 36 CRJ-900's, and will have them all by the end of this year.)
The 17 CRJ-200's are all based in MSP.
Now, please read the following letter from mgmt posted yesterday on the company website, and comment.

Good afternoon,
Today, it is with great pleasure I announce the addition of a new Mesaba Airlines maintenance line station. This summer we will begin performing overnight aircraft maintenance at the Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois. This new operation will be beneficial to Mesaba as we will add new jobs in Moline and strengthen our maintenance network.
This new station is important to Mesaba as our growing regional fleet requires additional maintenance options. Currently, Mesaba operates six dedicated maintenance locations at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Detroit Metro Airport, Memphis International Airport, Central Wisconsin Airport, Rhinelander Regional Airport and the Des Moines International Airport. We plan to initiate operations in Moline on June 5 of this year, where we will service primarily CRJ-200 aircraft.
Two major factors in choosing the Quad Cities-area are Northwest Airlines commitment to placing the appropriate overnight aircraft at the Moline airport in future flight schedules, and the close proximity to all three of our hubs.
All Mesaba maintenance personnel who are interested in working at this new location are encouraged to apply. We plan to post these job opportunities on MyMesaba.com in the near future.
Along with our new hangar in Des Moines, today’s announcement builds on our strong commitment to the safety and quality of our flights, putting us in excellent position to address the future needs of our expanding fleet.
Thank you for all you have done in helping Mesaba continue to grow.
