Perfect timing for the Daytona 500 and speedweeks. This is probably one of the few routes that will see 100% load factors during the inaugural week of service.

I never thought I would ever see the day that a Mesa flight will be recieving a water cannon salute upon arrival somewhere.

Quoting UpstateDave (Reply 11): I am confused on why Mesa isn't handling their own ground ops? Plus Air Wis. wasn't even here in DAB b4 now, correct?
Well, Mesa and Air Wis along with all the other commuter airlines bid for their contracts. For United, they were saving money by hiring Mesa to fly for them and Air Wis to do ground handling.
and you're right, ZW was not in DAB before. This, i believe is our most southern station.
