I got this from a reliable source:
Delta and Mesa will never make it to court. The will settle out of court. Mesa has agreed to do the flying for Delta for half price or buy one get one free. Mesa can afford to do this because all the Freedumb pilots and flight attendants agreed to work for food. It’s a win win situation for all. Mesa stays in business, Delta gets the flying cheap and gets to furlough Comair, Mesaba, and Compass pilots, and Mesa pilots get to keep their jobs and build time. If this works out, then Mesa will implement this plan system wide and be more competitive than any other airline. Delta will give more flying to Mesa and take it away from all the other DCI carriers. ASA will continue to furlough pilots and all the other carries will start furloughing. You will have no choice but to work for JO because he will be the only game in town. But you better not have any expenses but food, because that’s all you will get paid.

It could happen, it is JO. I think it's fair to say that Delta is done with Mesa, probably for forever.

I don't think that guy is a flight attendant. In fact I am pretty sure he is a furloughed FO from PSA. He looks exactly like a guy from my new hire class and it is something he would do too.

No he is a flight attendant, notice the all black epaulets. Likes flight sim. There has been a thread about him on these forums. One guy said that he's rumored to have started the APU once when the crew wasn't there.

It's not a case of the bond holders not wanting to convert the bonds to stocks, it's the only feesable chance to get any return on a bad investment. Pennies are still better than nothing and that is what a bond would be worth when the bancruptcy happens.

I tell you if I were a bond holder, I would tell JO that I would hold him personably responsible when the stocks are worthless. The point I would make to him is that I could hold his feet to the coals on the bond repayment and tell him sorry but I want my money and interest now but if he coverts me to stock on nothing but wishful thinking and a slick presentation, we are coming after him personally for selling snake oil.

Convertable corporate bonds are great but not when your only chance of retrieving your investment is a long, long shot.

Our epaulets are black with thin silver lines, and the picture looks blurred to me right there. Plus he REALLY looks like a FO here. But if you know he is a FA then whatever it is no skin off my back.

He's a FA and works for RAH. PHL based. He's wearing a RAH lanyard around his neck as well. Several here know him. What can I say we only hire the best FAs.

WOW either you guys have a better picture than I am seeing or you have super eyes. All I can see it is a deep blue or black lanyard. On the upside if this guy is a FA for RAH then they can rest assured that if they ever needed he could fly the plane, I mean he is a captain with Atlantic Sun Virtual Airlines.

I guess when you know what you're looking for it's easier to spot. More like the two guys flying with him were laughing about it on the union board.

Where are all the airplanes for this extra flying going to come from?
