I've seen it before where Google and Yahoo! Finance screwed up the after hours trading numbers. You are correct though that they are at 4 cents. Sometimes one trade can mess with the system.

I called it a week ago that they are close to filing, though. $500 million in debt and only $45 million in cash. Plus they have over $100 million in notes due in January and February. Suits all over the place. Over at XJT, where we are in a tight squeeze, we have about $140 million in debt with $90 million in cash. We now only have $60 million in notes due, years down the road.

In order for Mesa just to survive through January, they need some short of financing or issuing of new stock to pay off those notes. That still doesn't get them by the Delta and Aloha suits they still need to win.

And that is a good reason why I am investing in XJT and not MESA!

I hope you are not investing money in any airline unless you have money to burn.

I'm not sure where you guys are seeing that Mesa's stock is at 4 cents. I'm looking on Yahoo Finance right now and the stock is at .39 and is up on the day 0.12. Kinda weird the stock is up 45%. I wonder if the investors know something we don't?

It was at $.04 during after hours trading. It has done this before. Sometimes when someone makes a large enough trade after hours it can affect the overall price. I guess someone made a huge sell off shortly after closing yesterday that was in the tens of thousands.

Ahh yes sorry. After re-reading the post I realized you were talking about yesterday's after-hours trading and not today's. It helps when I actually read things. lol

Rumors are surfacing again about 900's at PSA. Don't know if it is related to the impending demise of Mesa or not, but expansion at PSA would be a life saver for us that have had to endure the effects of downgrades/ furloughs. I hope better days are ahead.
