EDIT: Looked up on Yahoo and with 272,556 shares you would need $6815 to buy a controlling interest. That would be 20 people chipping in $370. That assumes the share count is accurate.
Wow that's practically nothing to own an airline. The Mesa pilots should buy the joint and kick out JO. Even if the airline ended up failing I'm sure there are enough company owned assets to sell to make back $6,815. As worthless as a CRJ-200 is I'm sure you could get plenty of money out of one of them to make the investment worthwhile.
