Nice to see this thread got hijacked too. Nobody has enough respect for the loss of our bothers and sisters on other threads, so why should this one be any different.

On Jan 6, 2009, Mesa received shareholder approval to authorize up to 900 million shares. Mesa is now negotiating with the major bond holders and apparently the talks are going well. So it looks like Mesa may not have any cash outlay for those debt repayments.

Check the Mesa airgroup website under investor relations. Looks like they paid out 1.8 million in cash and over 11 million in stock. To boring to read for me since I don't invest in any airline.

I have not been able to find anything on the Jan 30th court date.

Hope it at least helps a little.
