This is just the reorganization plan. There are many more hurdles to jump before the final decree (objections, acceptance, discharge, modifications, etc.).
A few things to consider:
This plan places six creditor selected directors on the nine member MAG BOD and allows US Airways at least a 10% stake on top of what influence they may already possess. The current MAG management will not have the absolute power they once enjoyed. If this plan or anything like it is approved, then the reorganized MAG will be a very different company.
Then, on top of all that, there still exists the possibility of a post-restructure merger/acquisition scenario.
Stay tuned and good luck,

glad to see the board will be comprised of folks who's main interest isn't being JO's cronies
so instead of jo giving usair 100 million (was it in 2005?) for the 900 flying and stock in usair, he winds up giving them shares in mesa

I have heard the proposed plan sets Mesa up to be sold. There may be truth to that if the creditors agreed on this plan as it was written.
What is your take on this?

Skywest buys Mesa out of B/K and gets the contract flying with Airways till 2015- JO gets his stock (per POR) probably his golden parachute- Mesa's flying continues as is sans interruption- Airways makes money selling their ownership in Mesa (per POR) to Skywest - this scenario would explain the creditors committee going along with this POR and it's giving money to someone like JO- its the best way for the creditors to recuperate the largest amount of money.

It is plausible. If this plan is accepted, MAG will be a profitable company with a desirable fleet type and a structured plan to pay off debts. The BOD will consist of a majority of directors appointed by the creditors. The creditors and US Airways will also receive the majority of the new issue stock. MAG management, with 10% of the new issue stock, will be in a weak position to prevent a possible M/A.

p.s. Did you see the big reveal of Nilchii, Inc. in the disclosure statement? Apparently MAG loaned Spirit $15 million in 2006 resulting in a valuation of the investment at $61.4 to $95.6 million.
Hint: Indigo Partners, Oaktree Capital Investment, and William A. Franke

.SKW INC will probably not touch mesa with only four years on the airways contract. They have historically been very leery about acquiring hardware with any significant tail risk. It's remotely possible that the street value of the 900's would be enough to make it worthwhile...I'm not sure how beat up those units are today.

Please note the approval of the part giving 10% to LCC may be the lynch pin in making the extension a done deal.
