Mesa because those aircraft will be less than 50 seats with premium seating and they can operate it them cheaper than anyone

look at 50 seat rates for mesa

Guess u missed the part of the article where it said that they will be configured with 76 seats...
 
SAO PAULO (AP) -- Brazilian plane maker Embraer says it's signed a firm order with United Airlines for 30 regional jets.
With the option for United to buy an additional 40 jets, Embraer says the deal could eventually be worth nearly $4 billion. The first planes are to be delivered in the first quarter of 2014.
The E175 jets will be flown by the airliner's United Express regional service and will have a 76-seat layout.

Mesa didnt care about 50 seat rates in their last contract because they are a dying breed. Why waste negotiating capital on an aircraft that nobody wants anymore..
 
If Skywest or ExpressJet get them we will have to know pretty soon. On the last earnings call they addressed the E-Jet issue and stated that optimistically it will take 6 months (and more likely 6-12 months) to be ready for first delivery.
 
This doesn't even enter into the calculation. Frontier is an annoyance, not a serious contender. Recall that as part of their restructuring they have 1/3 less flights than just a year ago. Additionally, they most likely will be spun off shortly. There are two investment firms/capital groups in talks with them.

Had a jumpseater who is friends with a manager, he said smallsak is livid that Republic submitted a fuel bill for more than 200K gallons of fuel with no A/C reference in DEN alone.
 
I could be wrong but my bet is that Comair is getting the A/C. I heard it from a guy who's brothers friend cleans the corporate bathrooms at United.
