Guys,
Everything is re-negotiable. Even if these Bonds are due do you really think the lender will demand the full payment when they know Mesa doesn't have the money. No they will come to Mesa and work out a payment plan to keep Mesa in business. If Mesa shuts down the bond holder gets nothing, Mesa has nothing. If Mesa stays in business the bond holder knows Mesa has contracts through at least 2012 allowing them to make payments. I have been hearing since United and Mesa signed their first contract that United wanted to dump them so I give little weight to that claim. The Aloha lawsuit is not the same as the Hawaiian lawsuit and will be much harder for Aloha to win. (doesn't matter what you think of mesa that is the fact). Doug Parker claims to hate Mesa but at the same time they still work for him and there isn't anyone else that could move in tomorrow and fill in for Mesa. He might refuse to resign but that is still down the road and it will be a slow faze out to allow another carrier to build up the A/C and crews. We all hate JO but lets be realistic here, he will work out a deal just like he did with the last bond that everyone claimed would shut Mesa down. I am not saying that the skies are blue for Mesa cause we all know that is not the fact, but be realistic in the fact that the sky isn't falling and there will be a tomorrow for Mesa wether we want it or not.
