This morning Mesa Air Group filed an 8-K stating that on May 23, the company accepted the resignation of William Hoke as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer. Coincidentally, the resignation is effective today,  June 6, 2008.

“Mr. Hoke has resigned to pursue another career opportunity” the filing said.

Uh-huh.

The filing continues, “Mr. Michael J. Lotz, the Company’s current President and Chief Operating Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, will serve as interim chief financial officer of the Company until a suitable replacement is found.”

No mention of chief cook, bottle washer, and baby-sitter duties, but one has to think that perhaps those are a part of the new gig as well.

Notice there has still been no mention of when the airline is going to announce its earnings results for the quarter ending Mar. 31.

Which would then tend to lead one to believe that, with the departure of Hoke, we may not see these earnings details for awhile.

It’s never a good sign when the CFO abruptly leaves a company when it has yet to report overdue earnings for a particular period of time.
