Correct,

He is hooked up with The Goldman Sachs boys. This I know for a fact, and the Mesa Hierarchy knows this also!!! With this in mind, anything is possible.

Wow that's JO to the tee! Having been to his daily meetings and having seen him as he really is; that is spot on! That is exactly how he wants to be perceived by MAG employees. All his e-mails are soothing so as to distract employees form the real truth of what's really going on.

Wasn't J4J with US done @ Mesa in late 2002-2003?

Did US do a second round of J4J's with Mesa after the US/AWA merger?

I don't think so, but I know they were still showing up as late as early 2005. However, I don't think any of them were cactus guys.

Sorry, I took your term "up in the air" to mean "anything is possible."

The contract stays mainly apply to debtors who would stop services and interfere with the operation of the protected company. These people forced to continue to “do” mesa will get paid from court. The money owed before protection will be poop pie. (I like that phrase). If mesa cannot pay the bills run up while in bankruptcy its round and round and down.
I agree that the automatic stay stops all creditor actions against the debtor but I think you misunderstand my point. Not only does bankruptcy law protect the debtor from it's creditors but it also protects the debtor from customers cancelling any executory contracts.

Actually, under bankruptcy law (11 U.S.C. § 365), this is exactly what the judge can do. The minute Mesa petitioned for bankruptcy protection the executory contracts with Delta, United, and USAirways were under the purview of the bankruptcy court. Mesa can now request to assume or reject executory contracts. This request will either be granted or denied based on the viability of the reorganized company.

After reorganization any customer is free to cancel a contract in district court but as we saw with the Delta case, this gets expensive in a hurry for all parties involved.

mwa1,

Here is a breakdown of the 178 Aircraft Mesa fleet:

20 Beech 1900D's
16 Leased DHC 8's
2 Owned CRJ-200's
46 Leased CRJ-200's
8 Owned CRJ-700's
12 Leased CRJ-700's
14 Owned CRJ-900's
24 Leased CRJ-900's
36 Leased ERJ 145's

Total: 178

38 CRJ-900's, 8 CRJ-200's, and 6 Dash-8's are flying as USAirways Express.

20 CRJ-700's, 18 CRJ-200's and 10 Dash-8's remained flying as United Express on Jan. 5th, 2010.
The contract for the United Express CRJ-200's and Dash-8's expires in April, 2010.
(The addition of 10 optional CRJ-700's to the contract is under litigation).

22 ERJ's are flying under a court injunction as Delta Connection on the Freedom Airlines certificate.

5 CRJ-200's are flying as GO!/Mokulele.

Hypothetical Results:

On December 31st, 2009, there were 1085 active pilots on the roster and 50 on LOA. There were 127 aircraft in operation or 8.54 pilots per aircraft (This includes management pilots and instructors).

After April there will be only 99 aircraft flying (38 900's, 20 700's, 13 200's, 6 Dash 8's, and 22 ERJ's). If the 8.54 pilot/aircraft ratio holds, then approximately 842 pilots would be required.

If Mesa's reorganization plan includes a CRJ-700/900 fleet, GO!/Mokulele and Freedom/Delta Connection, then there would be 85 aircraft or approximately 726 pilots required.

If Mesa finds a way to add the 10 optional United Express CRJ-700's, that would require approximately 85 pilots bringing the total pilots required back up to approximately 811.

If Mesa's reorganization plan doesn't include the Freedom/Delta Connection aircraft or the 10 optional United Express 700's, then there would be 63 aircraft or approximately 539 pilots required.

Don't forget that this is all hypothetical and there are many more scenarios that could be discussed. Nobody knows what the final outcome of the bankruptcy will be and I have no way of knowing what sort of staffing levels would be implemented.

Remember also that there are over 3400 total employees at Mesa Air Group.

Good luck to all...
