from above press release said:
In addition to delaying the order, Mesa amended its purchase agreement to obtain a return of US$6 million of its US$6.5 million deposit.

a different press release said:
(ii) exchange $18.9 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 2023 Notes and $70.9 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 2024 Notes for an aggregate of $5.6 million in cash


Hmm....

Starting to sound like ASA SUCKS!

I don't see the similarity of connection... ASA hasn't delayed deliveries. ASA doesn't have JO... quite the opposite. Trading some airplanes, yes, but not for the same reasons.

I would say that Mesa should NEVER be compared to ASA... like comparing garbage water with Shasta. At least Shasta is trying to taste good.

(Nasdaq: MESA) announced today that it has entered into separate agreements with certain holders of its Senior Convertible Notes Due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") and certain holders of its Senior Convertible Notes Due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") to (i) waive the January 31, 2009 put right for $15.6 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 2023 Notes and (ii) exchange $18.9 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 2023 Notes and $70.9 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 2024 Notes for an aggregate of $5.6 million in cash, 13.6 million shares of the Company's common stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), and $14.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's new 8% senior unsecured notes due 2012 (the "2012 Notes").

The bondholders gave up future cash (2023/2024) for less cash and stock NOW.

They gave up the right to excercise the 15.6 million put right (the payments they are worried about), and 89.8 million of the principle due 2023/2024.
In return, they received 5.6 million cash and 13.6 million shares, and 14.3 million in new notes due 2012.


If none of the bondholders (whos bonds mature in 2023/2024, but can excercise put rights for cash Jan 31 and Feb 10) excercise those put rights, they will still have 82 million in bonds outstanding.


They aren't out of the woods yet. Still may have to pay 13.4 million on Jan 31, and 28.9 million on Feb 10th unless the bondholders agree to some similar type of agreement.
