Mesa/United

[dal757]

When does Mesa's contract expire with United?

 

[viper548]

I don't think mesa will be around long enough to see the end of that contract.

 

[joeyfly55]

this is a popular rumor, but can someone post something with substance that shows that Mesa won't be flying United colors for much longer.

Probably not. Everyone who thinks they have info actually knows very little. That being said...I've run across many nice Mesa pilots, too bad the company sucks.

They can't staff their flying so UAL is giving some of it away. Expressjet will be covering some of mesa's flying out of IAD and Skywest will be flying 1 more plane this month as well.

[FONT='Times New Roman',Times]If the holders of our 6.25% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2023 exercise their right to require the Company to redeem their notes, our liquidity could be adversely affected or we may issue additional stock, which would dilute existing stockholders.[/FONT] [/FONT]​

​

[FONT='Times New Roman',Times]

In June 2003, we completed the private placement of senior convertible notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), which resulted in gross proceeds of $100.1 million ($96.9 million net). The Notes were sold at an issue price of $397.27 per note and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 39.727 shares per note, which equals a conversion price of $10 per share. Holders of the Notes may convert their Notes only if: (i) the sale price of our common stock exceeds 110% of the accreted conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding quarter; (ii) prior to June 16, 2018, the trading price for the notes falls below certain thresholds; (iii) the Notes have been called for redemption; or (iv) specified corporate transactions occur. The holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase the Notes on June 16, 2008 at a price of $397.27 per $1,000 note plus accrued and unpaid cash interest. If the holders of these Notes exercise their right to [/FONT]​

require the Company to repurchase their Notes on June 16, 2008, the Company will be required, at its election, to repurchase such Notes with cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. [/FONT]​

​

[FONT='Times New Roman',Times]

As a result of prior conversions of the Notes by noteholders, at September 30, 2007, there were approximately $37.8 million in Notes outstanding. If the holders of these Notes exercise their right to require the Company to repurchase all of the Notes on June 16, 2008, the Company will be required to repurchase such Notes for approximately $37.8 million in cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. If Mesa elects to issue shares of its common stock in lieu of cash, such shares must be issued pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to timely register shares of common stock. The failure to do so would be a breach of the terms of the indenture covering the Notes. In addition, if Mesa elects to issues additional stock to meet this purchase obligation, this issuance would dilute existing stockholders. [/FONT]​

On January 9, 2007, Aloha Airlines filed suit against Mesa Air Group in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii. The complaint seeks damages and injunctive relief. Aloha alleges that Mesa’s inter-island air fares are below cost and that Mesa is, therefore, violating specific provisions of the Sherman Act. Aloha also alleges breach of contract and fraud by Mesa in connection with two confidentiality agreements, one in 2005 and the other in 2006. [/FONT]​

​

[FONT='Times New Roman',Times]

Mesa denies any attempt at monopolization of the inter-island market and further denies any improper use of the data furnished by Aloha while Mesa was considering a bid for Aloha during its bankruptcy. The case is in its incipient stages and a tentative trial date of October 28, 2008 has been scheduled by the court. [/FONT]​

I really would like to know how a Mesa pilot would describe "everything working out?" In all seriousness, what is the best possible day/week/year you could have there?

What I meant is I hope they get a job with an airline of their choice instead of ending up on the street
