Mesa News

[WayBack]

I am sure that is what you wish. I think its funny that no one responds to a post when there is some positive news regarding this airline. People want to see Mesa die, I am sorry but they will never die. They will only be more cost effective and profitable in the future.

Couldn't agree anymore.
Mesa will grow and undercut the rest of the industry once again...but this time it will be even worse.

Look at the contract these guys willingly vote through. You think these spineless twits won't fly for free if it saves their job?

Whats your source ? In what areas is Mesa's contract substandard to others ? Min days off ? Min gurantee ? Vacation for the year ? Block or better ?

Whats your source ?

Have you never paid attention to ANY of these contract Mesa pilots voted on?

Source please

Mesa also owes Uncle Sammie over $20 million in taxes due... immediately.

The only way that mesa will die is if the major partners have a vendetta against them. JO is pretty stupid but even his management will not cause the demise of Mesa unless they get dumped by their majors. Delta is obviously gone for the next hundred years. UA is obviously not happy with Mesa but I guess their contract goes for another 8 years. USair could make or break mesa in 2012, I'm pretty sure there are operators positioning themselves right now to take over AT LEAST the CLT portion of their 900 flying.

JO is pretty stupid

I'm not so sure he's as stupid as you'd like him to be. He's doing something right to keep those scumbag pilots flying for as cheap as they do.
Hell, he got them to sign that last contract all on the hope off success....then yanked everything out from underneath them when filing BK.

I read that Mesa is out of cash to pay the bills on February 12th unless they can snooker someone into giving them some credit.

An actual FACT regarding this rumor is that Mesa has put forth a motion to the BK court to get approval to reup the letter's of credit that keep the operation going. Yes, there is a bank actually willing to renew the LoC's, but MAG must first get the blessing of the court to proceed.

As of now the court has yet to set a date for objections and the actual motion hearing, but since MAG filed the motion under emergancy status they are wanting to make it a priority.

Mesa probably will most likely get the approval and continue with renewed LoC's, the only problem that might be present goes back to the start of BK when JO said the company had enough funding to get through BK. If that was in an actual court document it would be considered truthful and under oath, so it will be intresting to see if the judge corroletes MAGs request to the above statement. If anything, it will probably bring a lot more scrutiny from the court and creditors.

And where did you read this? Truth is Mesa has plenty of cash > $70 million. Read the court docket and affidavit from day 1.

Liquidation doesn't make a company much more "cost-effective." If they can not find someone stupid enough to give them truckloads of bucks, that is where they will be.

And on what basis do you reach the conclusion "They need a truckload of bucks" Truth is they have repeated many times that they do not need any cash, any cash, any cash, any cash.

Did you read the court documents? Mesa doesn't need any cash, they do not plan on any DIP financing, and they have zero outstanding LOC's?

Hope that clears up some misconceptions.

Fly safely.
