Except that this is Amazon and not DHL. Not sure but I think Amazon might have to purchase warrants in Mesa? If so could be great for the stock price. Buying opportunity?

Based on the 8-K filing that AAWW filed earlier this year when the 738’s were “revealed”, the warrants purchased by Amazon would place 20 738’s leased from GECAS to be operated by Southern Air. Initially, per the 8-K, five 738’s would be introduced and start flying in 2019 with the remaining 15 aircraft coming online under Southern’s operating certificate by 2021. No mention of Mesa operating said aircraft.

The Mesa thing is a dumb rumour that hit the spot for some people and thus got legs. Amazon certainly has a termination for convenience clause on like 90 days notice, so it can pull the a/c from Southern, but it is unlikely to do so IF Southern performs.

Where the hell is Southern going to find crews for 15 airplanes with the scandalous pay and qol on the 737? There simply cannot be that many rocks they haven't already kicked over.

Says who? Is there proof? The whole thing seems like an obvious joke.

When the most skeptical lifers at Mesa who never believe it is going to happen until their butts are flying it, are in fact the ones telling you that it is real, it's real.

So... sounds like it's not happening.
