Default An observation

I can remember joining APC in 2006 and the regionals were going through its growing pains. I can remember how guys use to trash talk Mesa Airlines and how crappy is was. Well, guess whose still standing after all the dust has cleared? MESA. Whatever they did & how they did it....it worked. Again, just a personal observation.

So not even the Fortune 7500?

They're posted a 47 million dollar loss this third quarter, are faltering, and are being delisted on the NASDAQ.

What worked?

What dust has cleared? If you haven't noticed, it's getting dustier.

While Mesa has certainly lived up to it's coachroach survivor reputation over the years, it's actually on the ropes pretty good this time.

Yeah, capitalization of $22 million, stock currently at 44 cents a share, and losing $46 million a quarter during July-Aug-Sept. That's on the ropes alright.

On the ropes????

Mesa is hanging from a noose like a pirate of the Caribbean in the town square. It just doesn't know it's dead yet.

I hate that in the back of my mind, I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to recover given their reputation and history. I'd be sorry for the pilot group and all the support staff but would love to see this one finally die its well-deserved end.
