Here is a good one I found... call it a confirmed rumor:
Got this information from a very reliable source. Take it for what it's worth.
Here's another good one:
from planebuzz.com: She raises an interesting question.

When the photo is downloaded, it is identified by the Mesa Air Group site with a moniker that includes "Kunpeng Launch." As you can see, it is in a group of other pictures that were clearly also of the various launch festivities. When did this particular occur? Well, the launch was officially Friday the 27th of October. So, it could have been the 26th, the 27th or the 28th.
Now, here's the point of my web adventure.
Look who's seated next to Jonathan Ornstein at the official event.
To his right -- with, appropriately, an open laptop in front of him? (I know, at this point it's becoming more and more like a skit from Saturday Night Live.)
While he seems to be somewhat pre-occupied with a napkin in the photo, and not what is on his laptop, there's no question the person seated next to Jonathan is Peter Murnane. In fact, because the photo was uploaded in its full resolution -- you can clearly make out his name on the little white name placeholder in front of him. George Peter Murnane III no less.
But wasn't Peter on administrative leave from the company at the end of October?
A little historical perspective here for those who took a cruise to Alaska in October.
On Sept. 21, Mesa Air Group sent out a press release. In that release, it stated that the Board of Directors of the airline had put Peter Murnane on "administrative leave." In the press release, Mesa CEO Jonathan Ornstein said, "Our policy is to comply with only the highest ethical standards of conduct and, if we become aware of a potential or alleged violation of such standards, to conduct an appropriate investigation and to take appropriate remedial action when warranted. We will report the outcome of the Company's investigation as soon as it is completed."
It's him...
