Regional carrier Mesa Airlines is rumored to be considering Chapter 11 bankruptcy, or as they say Chapter 22 because this would be the airline’s second trip to the courthouse. They last used the bankruptcy process to shed aircraft obligations in 2010.
JonNYC gives this information to them.
"Mesa has made it quietly clear their need to enter Ch 11. They can’t staff existing capacity agreements. They can’t run their operation as-is. AA flying would be dropped, UA flying would be heavy on E175s… sometime between now and Q1 2023."

A slimmed-down carrier would no longer fly as an American Airlines regional affiliate. Mesa flies Bombardier CR-9 regional jets for American out of Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix, and 70 and 76 seat ERJ-175 regional jets for United out of Houston and Washington Dulles. Two years have passed since Mesa and American signed a five year agreement.
