Mesa Freefall

[MONKEY]

It is now 11:15 am Eastern time. The market has been open for 1 hour 15 minutes and MESA shares have been selling like hotcakes. The average daily volume is 364,219. Today 626,328 shares have already traded hands. The stock is down 9.22%. Market cap is now 34.4%.

I think if or when UAL gives them the boot it will be all over.

Wouldn't that be wonderful ?

UAL doesn't need them anyway........they do more harm then good.

Give them the boot and snuff this turkey.

And just who could take over that much flying and where would they get the airplanes....if you think Mesa would lease their ERJs to someone who is taking their flying i think that will not happen.

Sorry, it I meant $34.4 million. I just get a little excited watching the scourge plummet.

XJT has a few kicking around that could pick up the flying.


Update 12:15 Eastern time 960,151 shares traded. down 12%. Market cap $33.33 million.

Who did all ATA, Aloha and skybus flying? It's OK! America will be just fine. How does this sound? "MESA SUCKED"!!

How does this sound? "MESA SUCKED"!!

Glorious!

Rumor around United is Mesa is gonna get the rug pulled out from them...

 

[TAWS]

Will it be weeks or months????

Jump now, don't get caught listening to the piano music as the bow comes out of the water!

Don't worry about the training contract, it'll all be a moot point real soon!

Oh, BTW, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE MEC! These guys will lead you down a path to nowhere! ALPA serves up plenty of koolaid of it's own making. Just put yourself and your family's interests first and get out ASAP!

You guys are really screwing this one up.

The pilots at Mesa are union members.

Most likely their slack will be picked up by non-union Skywest: A pilot group which has been the beneficiary for many years of ALPA induced profession raising improvements. A pilot group that refuses to contribute to the profession. In short, a bunch of professional freeloaders.

The Mesa pilots certainly have their own list of problems and have allowed themselves to be manipulated to management's benefit, but their actions pale in comparison to the pilots of Skywest.

Be careful who you are rooting for and against.

Let's get rid of Mesa and keep some 737's.

Hey Koolaid man!

You must be drunk with the ALPA Koolaid! or maybe you are joking.

ALPA may have it's place, but thinking that SkyWest has hurt the industry more than MESA is insane.

By the way, Express Jet will be the winner, at least in the short term.

The free market will prevail on this one.

ALPA allowed the pos contract that MESAhas today - They signed off on it!
Pax will pay more for a ticket and DEMAND more service than before, hence the fact that MESA has no place in this industry anymore. SkyWest pilots seem alot happier than MESA people - ask yourself why ?????
It's not about union/non union - I used to think it was. It's about mngt and whether they are in it for the long run, or if they are only interested in running a sweatshop.
