Ol' United had an airline, ee-ie-ee-ie-oh
And serving that airline are some regionals, ee-ie-ee-ie-oh
With a MOU-MOU here, and a MOU-MOU there, everywhere a MOU-MOU

Seems like lately when I jumpseat on Mesa, they ask me how SkyWest is doing... or they'll "apologize" for taking our prop work out of DEN. While Mesa pilots have been awesome, friendly and extremely accommodating, I wonder how many realize that EVERYONE is getting work from United... even ACA, I believe, will get some expansion after the pissing match is over.

No one regional will ever dominate others with respect to its major.

Furthermore, at some point Mesa and Chautauqua's cost structure will be forced to increase to the point where they can no longer rely solely on price for getting new business. The pilots and perhaps machinists' union will not tolerate it.
 
the days of "This is my sandbox" are over!

See ya in IAH Reality Check!
 
I don't think anyone at ACA actually cares that Mesa is now a UAX carrier AS LONG AS we don't get screwed by the deal (i.e. keeping our own growth on track while looking for more appealing opportunities outside of UAL...err, I mean we just LOVE United Airlines). We only care if we get sent up the creek without a paddle in the meantime...

Give me an MOU MOU here, and an MOU MOU there...
