No.

So, Mesa's -200 flying is done April 2010, unless United "renews" with 180 day notice. 30 days and counting.

April 2010....where have I heard that date before..................

Starting today, UA has to give 180 days notice for the cancellation....

Actually looks like it will be terminated, in April 2010, unless United provides the 180 day notice to renew.

The clock is counting.

Under the terms of such agreement, 26 CRJ-200s terminate in April 2010 (United has certain renewal rights to extend for five years by giving 180 days notice) and 10 Dash-8s terminate in July 2013 but can be terminated early by United in April 2010 upon six months prior notice.

This part seems to be what everyone is trying to interpret. The CRJ200 terminates in April2010 unless United extends. The Dash terminates in July2013 but united can terminate as early as April 2010 by giving 6 month notice.

NOW....the other piece of the puzzle is United's request for proposals whose time frame and equipment coincide with the termination of the Mesa's contract.

Yep...We may not know ANYTHING till pushing up on that date. Do you think if 2 months from know United said, "wel'll renew the CRJ flying," that Mesa would say "Hold on! We need 6 months notice!"

Yeah that 180 day deal just seems like a tactic to get things moving in negotiations for new deals. As if anyone really had a lot of options to reallocate their flying right now
