“Mesa Airlines has experienced various financial and operational difficulties this year,” Derek Kerr, American’s chief financial officer, said in a memo. “We have concerns about Mesa’s ability to be a reliable partner for American going forward.” American didn’t help fund higher pilot pay at Mesa and penalized the regional airline for not flying the amount required in its contract, actions that caused concerns “about American’s ability to be a reliable partner going forward,” he said.
A United spokeswoman declined to comment. Phoenix-based Mesa said last week it would delay release of its fourth-quarter results and 10-K filings. The carrier’s stock dropped 20% last week and is down 79% this year.
