With all due respect sir,


Stumble on this!!!

I'm sure someone "stumbled" on this about 1-1.5 years ago when JO annouced his intentions to shrink and eventually eliminate Air Midwest.

There's only about 6-8 airplanes left (if that many) flying for AMW and roughly 60-80 pilots, so it completely going away isn't a big deal.

1. If you saw it on FI, then its true.

2. If he's selling one house, it's to buy a bigger one. Perhaps you don't know how much $ he's made of Mesa in the past few years. Millions in bonuses, high salaries.

His family (namely his wife and daughter (who is hot BTW)) owns about 60% of the airline (if not more). Reason: convicted fellons can only own a certain % of american companies, per the SEC charges he was convicted of.. I know this isn't a money maker now, but it was when stock was selling for $7 a share 2 years ago.

JO is loaded, and stands to get roughly $4 million in the form of a golden parachute if he is removed from his job.

how old is she? if hes getting that much money maybe its worth trying to get involved with the daughter to try and get some of it.... maybe a way for some LAMA guys to get some of what they deserve....:p

If that pilot knocked her up, he'd be hard pressed to buy himself a beer ever again!

Legal.

If I were in PHX, I would very definately consider making a "play" on this one.

If she is really all that, maybe it's worth a move there LoL...but then would you really want to be known being associated with the JO family :eek:
