Of course, the other possibility is that the financial hemmoraging continues and they go belly up. Not a good scenario either way. I am really bummed about this ruling and hope the issue of companies using bankruptcy law recklessly becomes a political issue. Somone call Lou Dobbs... this is an attack on the American middle class! BTW, there is informational picketing on Thursday in MSP, DTW, and MEM to support Mesaba pilots.
If people leave in groves the company won't have time to hire & retrain pilots before they go belly up! Think 2-3 days would do it in for them.

Then thats all she wrote for Mesaba!
