Default Countdown to the Mesa vs. Delta hearing on 01/30/2009

I wanted to get opinions on what you guys think the outcome of the hearing will be.

Something along these lines:

JO delivers some cash in a suitcase to RA's house about 2am. RA and Delta "misplace" important information, and JO's computer "crashes" yet again. Both show up in court and stare at the judge and just shrug. Both walk out, sharing a knowing smile.

Wash, rinse, repeat every few years.

There is a 50% chance of Delta winning, though the chances of that happening are only 50%.

if Delta wins, does Comair get the A/C back, drain the pool, and start hiring again? There's a 50% chance of that.

How will the judge decide? In previous decisions, statistics indicate it could go 50% for Delta or Mesa, but experience seems to suggest 50%

How is this running joke? I think 50% of you may get it, but I could be 50% wrong.

They will lose the 20 million per month they get from Delta.

Two months after that (or less if the FAA pulls their 121 cert for poor finances) they will probably be forced to attempt to file Ch.11. Under the new BK laws, this should require DIP financing IN ADVANCE. If they cannot find a sucker to dump large amounts of cash into MAG, they will go directly to liquidation.

I wonder if "Tricky Dick" gets to keep the briefcase, or if he'll just leave in in seat 1A of the first CRJ-900 Mesa gets off Comair LOL

Absolutely nothing will happen. Mesa will never go away. This thread is pointless.
