The Mesa earnings conference call had lots of interesting comments by Chairman J Ornstein on the viability of flying turboprops and 50-seat regional jets, for those interested. Basically he likes turboprops but only at used-aircraft prices and sees continuing economic viability in the smaller RJ, as ticket prices creep up.
The call also details Mesa's complicated fleet redeployment plans: into Delta and Hawaii, out of US Airways East, etc.
Interesting listening. And Ornstein isn't the devil - or maybe I should say he doesn't sound like it.
