I may be able to....my GF is the Airways Station Mgr. in DTW. She had just gotten back from a week conference in PHX...all the big wigs were speaking.

The big reasons for these loans has to do with the upcoming purchase of aircraft....they are still the launch customer of the A350 and i think she said they will have 60 new airplanes delivered between 2010-2014

Last quarter di hurt them alot....about 2 million a day...they wont see the benefits of paying for checked bags and selling all drinks till next quarter....they are currently making over a million a day just based on checking bags.

Capacity should be back to full by the spring.....they claim they have plenty of cash on hand....these loans were also benefitting us and RAH in the years to come....how??? Who the hell knows at this point. I'd imagine alot of it is predicated on Mesa Dying.

So its not much encouragement....but I "want" to believe that upper Mgmt. wouldnt BS all the Station Mgrs. Who knows....hopefully things will start to turn around
