History

Mesa began operations as Mesa Air Shuttle in Farmington, New Mexico, in 1980. From 1989 to 1998, Mesa Airlines operated as a conglomerate of up to eight separate airlines. For the history of the acquisition and expansion of Mesa Airlines over the years, see Mesa Air Group. The following historical section details the history of each airline comprising Mesa Airlines during this time period.

Mesa Airlines

The original Mesa Air Shuttle was the flight division of JB Aviation in Farmington, New Mexico and operated one route from Farmington to Albuquerque on a Piper Saratoga plane. In 1981 as the original Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) had stopped its flight between the two cities, Mesa acquired twin Piper Navajo Chieftain engines and improved service on the route. In 1982 the original owner sold the company to Larry and Janie Risley. The Risley is rapidly expanding its carrier by acquiring a commanding 14-seat Beechcraft 99 turboprop passenger fleet and adding services throughout New Mexico and surrounding countries with hubs in Albuquerque. In 1985 a larger 19-seat Beechcraft 1900 passenger was acquired which replaced Beech 99 and became the backbone of Mesa's fleet. In 1987 up to 47 departures each day operated from Albuquerque to 18 cities. Also in 1987 the Denver hub was created when Mesa bought Centennial Airlines which operated multiple routes from Denver to Wyoming. After the initial route from Farmington and Gallup to Phoenix began in 1985, Phoenix expanded into a hub in 1989 with new routes throughout Arizona. In 1990, most Denver flights were incorporated into the United Express division that Mesa obtained from Aspen Airways. In 1992, when Mesa made code-sharing with America West Airlines, its Phoenix hub was diverted to the Western American Express division. A small center also operated in Farmington in the late 1980s with up to 22 daily flights connecting Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City to Durango, Cortez, and Telluride, CO. For a short time in 1995 and 1996, Mesa Airlines' operations in Albuquerque, United Express's operations in Denver, and West America Express operations in Phoenix were all known as operated by Mountain West Airlines. In 1997 and 1998, routes from Little Rock to Nashville and Wichita and from Nashville to Tupelo were added, first as Mesa Airlines, then as US Airways Express.

In 1997, Mesa established a small center at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport, using two Bombardier (formerly Canadair) CRJ200 regional jets, providing services from Fort Worth to San Antonio, Austin and Houston Hobby, as well as new routes from Colorado Springs to Nashville and San Antonio. The business was short-lived and these routes were all eliminated during corporate restructuring. The Albuquerque Hub was merged into Air Midwest in 2001 but operated as part of the code for Mesa Airlines until the center was dissolved in late 2007.

In 1998, Mesa moved its headquarters from Farmington, NM to Phoenix, AZ.

America West Express

In September 1992, Mesa negotiated a code-sharing agreement with America West Airlines to operate as a West American Express out of its Phoenix hub, serving 12 cities. These routes originally came from an independent Mesa operation and several Beech 1900D planes were painted in the West America Airlines scheme. The code division allows increased frequency and increased load factor and expansion into new markets.

In 1995, Mesa created a new subdivision called Desert Sun Airlines and acquired a pair of Fokker 70 jets for use on the new American Express West route from Phoenix to Des Moines and Spokane. Desert Sun merged into the Mesa Airlines division in 1997 and the Fokker 70 aircraft was replaced by the Canadianir CRJ-200 regional jet. The CRJ-200 aircraft also began replacing Beechcraft 1900D and Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia turboprops. The BE-1900D was later transferred to a subsidiary of Mesa Air Midwest. Beginning in December 1997, Mesa began operating de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 series of 200 aircraft between Phoenix and Grand Junction followed by many other cities throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. In 2003, Mesa Airlines took over Freedom Airlines operations and the Canadaar CRJ-900 jets from Freedom Airlines were transferred to West Express operations. The Beech 1900 flight operated by Air Midwest was discontinued on May 30, 2008.

On September 16, 2005, America West Airlines and US Airways completed their merger. Despite the company and operational side, the companies merged, in May 2008, two aviation operations had not been merged and Mesa continued to share the code with the new US Airways Group as US Airways Express under the West American Express Code Agreement. It operated CRJ200 and CRJ900 aircraft from hubs in Charlotte and Phoenix, and Dash 8 aircraft from the Phoenix hub until the end of 2011, while during Mesa's restructuring in bankruptcy, coinciding with United's cancellation of a further CRJ 200 service by Mesa, CRJ 200 and Dash 8 deleted of service. In early 2012, the only Mesa airframe used for the "western" side of US Airways from the Phoenix hub and the "East" side of its Charlotte hub was with CRJ 900.

US Airways Express

In November 1997, Mesa negotiated a code-sharing agreement to provide services to US Airways as US Airways Express for 14 regional jets to cities from the Philadelphia and Charlotte hubs. In 1998 and 2000, the agreement was expanded to 28 jets and then to 52 jets. The first CRJ200 aircraft began operations in 1998. When Mesa began taking delivery of Embraer ERJ 145 aircraft in 2000, CRJ was transferred to the West American division, separating the fleet type.

In 2003, 20 CRJ200 aircraft were re-introduced to the US Airways Express division. With the reintroduction of the CRJ, the CRJ200 aircraft operated out of the Philadelphia hub, and the ERJ-145 aircraft operated out of the Charlotte hub.

In 2005, Mesa's code-sharing agreement with US Airways was not reaffirmed in bankruptcy court, and Mesa began diverting the plane to stock other codes. Twenty-six ERJ planes were transferred to Freedom Airlines, and CRJ and the rest of ERJ were transferred to Mesa United Express operations. However, following the merger of West America Airlines later that year, Mesa's contract for the Western Americas Express was maintained and expanded to include the non-former Express America Express route. All US Airways Express flights are converted to American Eagle on October 17, 2015 when a merger between American and US Airways is completed.

American Eagle

As the merger between American Airlines and US Airways progresses, Mesa Airlines begins operating as an American Eagle on November 6, 2014 with routes from American Airlines hubs in Dallas/Fort Worth and Los Angeles using CRJ-900 aircraft. The US Airways Express route from Charlotte and Phoenix was gradually transferred to American Eagle until the transition and merger were completed on October 17, 2015.

United Express

In 1990, Mesa acquired hubs and Aspen Airways Denver route, except the Aspen route to Denver to Aspen. He attempted to acquire Aspen share codes with United, but United did not want to share the code with an airline that only operates 19 turboprop seats. Mesa hired Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia aircraft from a former rival in New Mexico, Air Midwest. With Brazil in hand, Mesa gets code share with United for his Denver hub. Some Beech 1300 and Beech 1900 aircraft were painted with the scheme of United Airlines.

In 1995, California Pacific and its Los Angeles hub merged into the Mesa United Express operation. After the closure of the Columbus Superior Airlines hub, the aircraft and its crew were used to expand United Express to Portland and Seattle. In 1997, operational difficulties with the Denver hub and disputes over renewal of the shareholder division of Mesa WestAir's children with United resulted in the cancellation of the Mesa code division.

In 2003, Mesa approved a service agreement with United for the services of their hubs in Chicago-O'Hare, Denver, and Washington-Dulles under the United Express flag. In October 2009 United decided to use the early termination option for Dash 8 flying. Dash 8 flew to end on 30 April 2010. Around the same time, United decided not to extend the CRJ200 operation and as a result, all Mesa CRJ200s (26 aircraft) flying under United Express were removed on April 30, 2010. By 2015, The Mesa United Express consists of Embraer 175 which flies out of the center of Houston and CRJ-700 flies out of the Washington Dulles hub.

Skyway Airlines

Skyway Airlines Division is Mesa's first attack to the Midwest. Skyway was formed in 1989 when Mesa made a code-sharing agreement with the Midwest Express and Milwaukee hubs. From Milwaukee, Mesa serves 25 cities in nine states in the upper Midwest area, using Beechcraft 1900 aircraft. After the end of code division in 1994, it was not updated. Midwest Express stores Skyway Airlines names and routes, forming Astral Airways to fill the void when Mesa stops operating in Milwaukee. Mesa reallocated the aircraft and crew to start Superior Airlines in its Columbus hub for West America Express.

FloridaGulf Airlines

FloridaGulf Airlines Division was formed in 1991 after the acquisition of Air Midwest by Mesa. Air Midwest CEO Robert Priddy was chosen to start operations. It is operated under a code sharing agreement with USAir and is a carrier of USA Express. It started with a Tampa hub, providing services to Florida and the US southeast using Beechcraft 1900 aircraft. Additional hubs in Orlando and New Orleans were established. In 1993, the airline expanded to the Northeast, with hubs in Boston and eventually Philadelphia. In 1994, six Embraer EMB 120 aircraft were added. At that time merged into Air Midwest, in 1997, operates 44 Beechcraft 1900 and Embraer EMB 120 aircraft serving 49 destinations.

Featured Airlines

After Midwest Express told Mesa that they would not renew the contract to operate their Skyway Airlines division, Mesa allocated the aircraft and crew to form Superior Airlines in 1994. Superior initially competed against their former Midwest Express counterpart as the West Express American and also provided services from America's new hub West Columbus. American Express Express operates to compete with their former partners from Milwaukee to Flint, Lansing, Columbus, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, as well as from Rockford to Detroit. In 18 months Mesa Redirected Superior and its 1900 Beech fleet focused exclusively on the center of Columbus. In 2000 the aircraft and crew, consisting of CRJ200s (CL-65s), were being operated by Mesa Airlines itself. America West Airlines closed the Columbus hub in 2003 and Mesa reallocated this time for newly launched United Express operations. CalPac_ (California_Pacific) "> CalPac (California Pacific) CalPac_.28California_Pacific.29">

Mesa created CalPac (California Pacific) in 1993, founded United Express airline with the Los Angeles hub. It used Beechcraft 1900 and Embraer EMB 120 aircraft to serve 12 destinations. In 1995, the airline's divisions were merged into the Mesa United Express operations.

Liberty Express Airlines

In 1994, Mesa acquired Pittsburgh-based Crown Airways. Using the acquired assets, Mesa established Liberty Express with a hub in Pittsburgh and shared the code with US Airways. In 1997, it merged into Air Midwest, operating 14 Beechcraft 1900 aircraft serving 17 destinations.

Desert Sun Airlines

Desert Sun Airlines Division was created in 1995 to inaugurate Mesa's first jet service by utilizing the Fokker 70 aircraft. It operated as the West American Express of the Phoenix hub. The first two cities that receive jet services are Spokane and Des Moines. In 1996, the division was merged into the Mesa America West Express operation, and the Fokker 70 plane was replaced by Bombardier CRJ aircraft when they were introduced. There were also previous Desert Sun Airlines who operated scheduled passenger commuter services in southern California during the mid-1980s with Beechcraft 99 turboprops and Piper Chieftain prop aircraft.

go!

In 2006, Mesa was formed! in the Hawaiian Islands, using five Bombardier CRJ planes from its Honolulu hub. It builds code-sharing with Mokulele Airlines, which serves airports that can not accept jet planes and provides point-to-point services among islands with the Cessna Caravan turboprop. The codeshare with Mokulele was subsequently replaced by one with Island Air, which itself was subsequently replaced by a joint venture with Mokulele dubbed go! Mokulele. The airline terminated its operations in Hawaii on April 1, 2014.

Mesa go! were involved in several lawsuits with Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines and were also investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration for the February 13 incident in which both pilots fell asleep during a regularly scheduled 36-minute flight between Honolulu and Hilo. go! Flight 1002 overshot Hilo Airport with 15 miles (24 km), remaining 21,000 feet (6,400 m) in the air as they missed the goal. Air traffic controllers can not reach two pilots for 25 minutes, after which contacts are rebuilt and the aircraft return for safe landings in Hilo.

Mesa go! also blamed for the closing of March 31, 2008 Aloha Airlines due to "predatory tariffs".

Kunpeng Airlines

Kunpeng Airlines was formed as a joint venture between Mesa Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines China. They started flying in October 2007 with three Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft and currently have five in China. The airline was originally expected to operate 20 CRJs before the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and plans to expand at a rate of 20 aircraft per year for the next 5 years. All pilots will be stationed in Beijing or Xian and the airline initially flies to 16 regional airports. Mesa intends to replace CRJ200s with larger regional jets like the CRJ700 and CRJ900. Kunpeng recently decided to delay the delivery of CRJ200 to support the new Embraer E-190. All Mesa planes are being restored.

Subsequently, in June 2009, Mesa no longer had any financial interest in Kunpeng Airlines, as Shenzhen Airlines bought Mesa interest in its initial joint venture.

Kontroversi

Pramugari

In February 2012 the contract between flight attendant and Mesa Airlines ended and qualified for negotiations between the Aviation Officers Association (AFA) and Mesa.

Aviation officers have been at the core of Mesa operations since their agreement was reached with US Airways and their United Express operations were achieved and over the previous years. Over the years many of them have become frustrated with stagnant wages and non-competitive retention leading to the current contract negotiations starting in 2012.

After bankruptcy

Negotiations have stalled several times in the years following 2012 in mediation and talked directly to the company after the company offered only a modest salary increase, unaffordable health insurance, and fewer incentives for flight attendants with longevity compared to other regional airlines.

In January 2017, contract negotiations before the National Mediation Board resumed. The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), after more than five years of failed negotiations, announced that union members would gather for a sound strike to speed up negotiations or start using AFA's patented method - CHAOS - to interrupt operations with American Airlines and United Airlines in anticipation that two legacy operators will put pressure on Mesa to offer habitable wages and individual profits comparable to other airlines.

On March 29, 2017, the AFA released a statement saying that esa Airlines Flight Attendants voted "Yes" for a very 99.56% sound strike, the highest "yes" vote in at least 20 years for AFA, and potentially in the history of unity since it was founded in 1945.

In response Mesa Airlines CEO Jonathan Ornstein stated "We will continue to negotiate in good faith and reach agreement that the company is capable", and it (It) "takes fairness on both sides."

Heather Stevenson, union president for Mesa, said "We're out of options" and "Five years 'Please' and 'Thank you' and 'Can you do better?' has not done anything yet. "He also stated"... management can choose different outcomes by seriously negotiating contracts. "Mesa Airlines is an important partner in American Airlines and United Airlines is very profitable."

"Mesa Flight Attendants will not receive poverty wages," said Sara Nelson, the AFA-CWA international president. "Enough already." Mesa Flight Attendants has the full support of 50,000 members of the CWA Flight Officers Association, and we are ready to do anything to achieve a fair deal. "

Mesa Airlines and AFA return to the negotiating table for the week of April 3, 2017. While the sound strike has the desired effect, the company still offers a negligible salary increase that will keep the stewardess on what they count as "Industrial Average". But that amount is only if both parties ignore all the financial compensation of other regional competitors that handle the same volume as Mesa.

Information protests were carried out by members of the AFA who were not Mesa employees on April 25, 2017, in Chicago, Dallas, and Phoenix to educate the public about union concerns such as low wages, poor health insurance, no progress made on contract negotiations, company, and get the attention of United and United.

AFA and Mesa Airlines meet again for June 13-15 and again do not reach a resolution. The union states "it soon becomes clear that the Company is not prepared to reach an agreement and does not see any point in bargaining until after they know the outcome of the pilot vote to be counted on July 12."

AFA and Mesa Airlines reached the Interim Agreement on August 14 and incorporated these changes:

  • The wage scale exceeds the average for Aviation Officers making regional flights to America and America.
  • Increase per diem.
  • Block or better.
  • Line warranty and minimum guarantee increase.
  • Long-term credit.
  • 200% payment of junior duty.
  • PBS on a trial basis, strong language.
  • Increased holiday for longevity.
  • Increased commute clause.
  • "Me too" with a 401k pilot.
  • Increased deadhead costs.
  • Jetbridge is trading.
  • Paying KCM.
  • The four-year duration with sustained wage increases exceeds the date that can be changed.

Pilot

On March 2, 2017, the Airline Pilot Association, the International union representing all Mesa Airlines pilots filed suit after wages stagnated and stopped increasing in any amount for nearly ten years and the company allegedly passed the Railway Labor Law by applying bonuses and incentive program without reaching an earlier agreement with ALPA.

The purpose of the pilot is similar to the goal at the time of flight of the flight attendant, which must be paid standard and comparable to other regional airline wages that can support needs such as food and shelter.

Incident

On June 29, 1990, flight 22, Cessna 208 Caravan en route from El Paso, Texas, to Ruidoso, New Mexico, lost engine power and landed on New Mexico State Road 220 about four miles from the Sierra Blanca Regional Airport. There were no injuries and the only visible damage was on the sheet metal on the right wing tip.

On October 16, 2001, an EMB 145 was approaching Roanoke, Virginia. The captain has explained "no shortcuts" for the night visual approach to "Airport Special". The approach is unstable, and speed goes down to the booth point. The airplane hit the runway in a high-pitched stance of the nose, the rear spacecraft dazzling first runway then settling on the landing gear. The first officer makes an early call of slow airspeed and then stops when the captain fails to respond to his call. Upon landing, the plane was slid to the gate where post-flight inspection limited to the main landing gear found no damage to the tail. The incident was not reported by the pilot either to the company and the aircraft was allowed to be flown by the next crew the next morning on a scheduled service back to Charlotte, North Carolina, where post-flight inspection revealed a tail strike. When interviewed, the first captain denied having been involved in a hard landing and speculated that the tail strike must result from excessive rotation during takeoff from the morning crew. When faced with CVR and FDR data, he finally admitted the incident. He reported that he was briefed "no shortcuts" because no takeoffs were allowed on the runway at night or in IMC conditions; However, the first officer knew this was not true, but did not challenge the captain. Both pilots have received CRM training, which includes team member firmness, methods for fostering crew input, and situational awareness, and training at special use airports; However it was not followed by a good pilot. The captain said the first officer was passive and calm. The first officer reported the captain was defensive and did not receive criticism very well. It is remarkable that damage to the tail is not found during visual inspection of preflight by morning flights or ground crews. The plane has an APU MELED and requires the engine to begin with the help of an external airplane. The connection for the air basket is located at the bottom of the stern of the plane where damage is visible. The access panel is bent. But the ground crew did not tell the flight deck crew. When a visual inspection goes by the first officer of the morning clerk, it is done during the hour of darkness with the help of a flashlight. The airbag was connected and forced the first officer to walk around the train and away from the plane, losing damage to the tail attack. Both crew were fired from work; However, the first officers of the crash flight and the morning flight captain were eventually restored with the help of their union (ALPA). The captain of the accident managed to recover the certificate and its privileges but was not restored. The first officer of the morning crew died of illness before it was restored.

On February 13, 2008, pilots from a trip! CRJ200 falls asleep and surpasses their destination airport as far as 26 nautical miles (48 km) before air traffic controllers can make contact with the aircraft. The incident occurred on the third day in a row as the pilot was asked to begin the task in 0540. The captain suffers from undiagnosed apnea sleep disorder. The National Transportation Safety Council determines the likely cause of this incident: "The first captain and officer accidentally fell asleep during the flight shipping phase.Contributing to the incident was obstructive sleep apnea undetected by the captain and recent crew flight schedule, which including several days in a row from the start time of the morning. "

On September 29, 2015, American Airlines Flight 5786 operated by Mesa Airlines under the American Eagle Brand suffered a wing attack on landing on a calm day. The plane landed and slid into the gate without further incident. No injuries were reported.
