They will have to get their stock price above $2.00 soon to avoid being delisted from NASDAQ, but I don't see it happening

But that's AFTER bankruptcy...stock in BK is worthless by definition.

Those prices were DURING bankruptcy. You can still trade it, just not on formal exchanges. AFTER bankruptcy a company generally voids its stock and issues new shares

That's what I meant, after BK was filed.

Not to step on toes but.... Although many people will be looking for new jobs and thats never good, but maybe that bull sh** airline will go under and that piece of sh*t CEO will stop low balling the airline industry. Mesa going under, just like Skybus, would be the best for us ALL in the long run.

Before you hang me here.... Mesa's flying would have to be picked up by someone so other, more respectable carriers, will hire all you guys.

I don't think that will happen. He will always find another toy to mess with. His Indigo corp has a controlling interest in Spirit. That will be his golden parachute.

Something is going on at MAG... something is happening behind the scenes. There is a power struggle or something. Maybe he is purposely driving the stock price down so he can buy a controlling interest and secure his place as CEO? Perhaps there is a merger or buyout... USAir might want us for some odd reason? Supposedly Parker and JO have become budds again in the last month or so. I don't know, but you can rest assured he is going to screw a lot of folks over here and he WILL come out on top smelling like strawberries. You can bank on that.

Look at his history- CoEx... etc etc. Naw, he has his plans and they are panning out just the way he wants... and the pawns will suffer and suffer.

MAG ALPA really should do another vote of no confidence and put it out in the media. Get rid of that CEO and find a management team that will give you guys a contract worth living for and some job security. Half the guys at Mesa don't know what they are missing (a respectable contract!) Why are the pilots just sitting on the sidelines, watching JO coach their team right into a nose dive?

Your right and then you wrong to. With regard to low balling the airline industry. When JO is gone another airline will attempt to low ball it's competitors in order to make it's share holders happy. There is no such thing as cooperative pay among the regional airlines. It it competition to the max. I read alot of the views on this forum and they are not in touch with reality regarding economics. Alot of people say if MESA would just go away the QOL and pay at the companies they work for would somehow just magically improve. The regoinal's are not set up finacially for this point of view, and never will be. I also see people telling MESA pilots to jump ship, before the bottom drops out. For what? and go where. It's better to stay put and wait, and when the bottom does drop, then go seek other avenues of employment. When and if MESA does fold, the other regionals will not just fill that vaccum left by MESA, they will have to recruit like crazy, and find the jets as well.
I also read the negative comments on how MESA pilots bring the whole industry down, and if they would just quit it would show they are down for the "cause". Not true, the people who foster these thought's are into socialism to the max, and that only works in insect colonies. MESA pilots have there reasons for being where they are, and it was not out of malice towards pilots of other companies. Yet I see nothing but complete loathing directed at MESA pilots, when it should be direct at MESA Management.

Other than what you wrote, your right on the money, and I hope you continue to make heaps of it, and I mean that with sincerity.
