Say Goodbye to MESA

[PBRstreetgang]

Did you ever consider that the engines are nice and warm in a warehouse? Maybe engines are normally removed for long term storage?

Yeah,
Jo, "removed them for long term storage", they are most likely hanging on a Columbian/Peruvian coke manufacturers mule plane, ya know JO's partner.

LOL I am truly amazed at how you can continue to live in the past and deny fact after fact after fact. Several weeks ago US Airway's executives held a recognition event honoring Mesa for their 2009 #1 performance.

Honestly I am not making this up. I agree Mesa has had performance issues in the past but for the past year they have been simply outstanding.

Believe it, its true. Also Mesa's pilots now have one of the better contracts in this industry another fact you folks keep denigrating.

Go Vikings

Wait,...what???? One of the "better contracts in this industry"???????














Someone's overdue for one of those random drug tests!!!!!!!!:nuts:

BTW what is Death by Boonga Boonga or do I want to know?

Three pilots have to appear in front of JO.

#1 steps up and JO asks, "do you want Death or Boonga, Boonga?"

#1 says, "I don't know what Boonga, Boonga is BUT I don't want to die, so I will take Boonga, Boonga." JO gets up drops his pants and bends #1 over the table and proceeds to Boonga, Boonga him.

#2 steps up and JO asks, "do you want Death or Boonga, Boonga?"

Well, now they know what Boonga, Boonga is but #2 doesn't want to die so he responds, "I'll take Boonga, Boonga." JO then says 2 Boonga, Boongas for you!

#3 steps up and JO asks, "do you want Death or Boonga, Boonga?"

Now, this 3rd pilot has had enough and there is no way he's going to let JO bend him over 3 times. So he defiantly says, "Death! I take Death!."

JO gets up and shouts - "DEATH BY BOONGA, BOONGA!"

That my friend is your choice during the upcoming Bankruptcy.

They're going to bend you over, or have the judge bend you over and JO is going to get his Boonga, Boonga one way or another.

1. Mesa declares bankruptcy (done).
2. Gets rid of all ERJs, -200s, Dash-8s.
3. Left with 53 aircraft: all -700s and -900s (~13 with UA, balance with US), all in place with financing and utilization.
4. Furloughs down to ~500 pilots, kills Freedom, cuts off F8 management.
5. Lowers costs another ~20% with re-negotiated leases, less overhead, etc.
6. Collects about half or more of the $70M it is suing DL for (Freedom) in BK court (Delta settles to end pain in ass relationship).
7. Exits bankruptcy with over $100M in cash (new stock issuance + current cash + good cash flow).
8. Makes Parker a deal for contract extension of current -900 flying at lower cost (Mesa most competitive regional now after BK), which...
9. involves a takeover of PSA, thus injecting ca$h into US, takes pain in ass airline and Express division out of US' hands (again lowering US' costs while accepting a "partner's" "investment").
10. Mesa "Regional Airline of the Year" 2011.

It all makes sense now! Declare bankruptcy in order to terminate the leases on a few dozen 50 seat RJs, emerge from bankruptcy "flush with cash", then buy another airline which operates mostly 50 seat RJs. Brilliant!

Mesa will survive this but they will eventually die a slow death because no airline will take them again. Delta is going to get rid of them. UA just tried to send them a message by not renewing their Crj2 while giving the flying to ASA and Xjet, USairways has no choice right now but their time will come. I see either a merger or a Mesa garage sale in the future.
