Unfortunately I had the chance to meet JO not too long ago. I asked him about all kinds of questions about Mesa, and one my questions was why he chose to go to Hawaii. I don’t know how true this is, but it was straight from his mouth. He said that Mesa had an excess of 50 seat jets, so instead of letting them sit (and still make the lease payments) it sounded better to operate them for a lower cost. (?) He said that it looked really good on paper but “going there was a *********** mistake” (right out of his mouth).
