Wow that's practically nothing to own an airline. The Mesa pilots should buy the joint and kick out JO. Even if the airline ended up failing I'm sure there are enough company owned assets to sell to make back $6,815. As worthless as a CRJ-200 is I'm sure you could get plenty of money out of one of them to make the investment worthwhile.

I'd be more than happy to chip in my $370.

you'd actually need much more than that because as you purchased it, the price would go up to entice other's to sell. You can't buy a share unless someone is willing to sell it. It would probably climb quite substantially before you could get 50 percent of the shares.

It's a 20% jump in the price of stock in one day!!!

You guys may as well go play some poker with your money, it's about equivilent risk. With that said I did buy 1600 shares when it wast at $0.04. I figure that if it becomes completely worthless I have a little more to worry about than like $60.

More like 60 million shares, and that number continues to rise. 51% will also run you at least $2 million.
