Guess no 900's for PSA

I heard ASA was getting '30 something' more 700/900s...

And we hired 48 pilots to staff them per BH's trademark "run 'em thinner than mormon underwear" staffing model.

Wow, looks Airways will hold 80% of the new Mesa Air Group.

Kinda like getting six and a half slices of a moldy pizza.

Very nice!

no, think it's more like 10%,

Or at second look...10% of the unsecured common stock Plus a Note, which the Usairways note and the management note makes up 20% of the company. So LCC could have just acquired 20% of mesa, or more...or less...but at least 10%

Looks to me like LCC gets 10 percent of the common stock (and a note) in exchange for extending the code share agreement. I didn't see anywhere in the POR where LCC was buying Mesa. Ornstein and Lotz get 6 percent.

The creditors will end up owning the company.

 

[Crzipilot]

So if ornstein and lotz get 6 percent, USair note make up the remaining 20, so that's 14 plus 10% of the stock.....

So US has 24% of mesa........why oh why???

Guess that blows out the mesa f/a that said he figured Mesa was coming out of BK and buying PSA and PDT with their new found millions they would get.....ha

You can't really mix debt with equity. Airways has 10% equity and a note. I'm surmising that is connected to the extension, but I don't know for sure.
According to the POR, the agreement with Airways isn't finalized yet, so it would be hard to say exactly what's going on there. The note has a face value of $5.5 million with a 5 year term. Based on that, it looks like an uneventful reorganization plan with the same management, extension of the Airways contract and the creditors owning the company. At least that's what it looks like at first blush.
