SCHEDULE 13D
     
Company: MAIR HOLDINGS, INC.   CUSIP Number: 560635104
Item 1.   Security and Issuer.
     This Amendment No. 1 to Statement on Schedule 13D the (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 25, 2007 (the “Original Statement”). This Amendment No. 1 relates to the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, (the “Common Stock”) of MAIR HOLDINGS, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at Fifth Street Towers, Suite 1360, 150 South Fifth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402.
Item 2.   Identity and Background.
     This Amendment No. 1 is filed by Schultze Master Fund, Ltd., Schultze Asset Management, LLC and George J. Schultze (the “Reporting Persons”).
     Schultze Asset Management, LLC (“SAM”) is (i) a privately held asset management firm, (ii) a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, and (iii) registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (File No. 801-62112). SAM’s principal business and office address is 3000 Westchester Avenue, Purchase, NY 10577. SAM acts as investment manager for individual and institutional investors through limited partnerships, offshore funds, and managed accounts (the “Managed Accounts”).
     Schultze Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company, is one of SAM’s Managed Accounts. Schultze Master Fund, Ltd.’s principal business address is c/o SS&C Fund Services, N.V., Curacao, The Netherlands, Antilles. The directors of Schultze Master Fund, Ltd. are as follows: George J. Schultze, Angelo G. M. Tyrol and Amicorp Management, Ltd. Mr. Tyrol is the Funds Director at Amicorp Curacao N.V. and a citizen of the Dutch Kingdom; Amicorp Curacao N.V.’s business address is Pareraweg 45, P.O. Box 4914, Curacao, The Netherlands, Antilles. Mr. Tyrol’s business address is c/o SS&C Fund Services, N.V., Pareraweg 45, P.O. Box 4671, Curacao, The Netherlands, Antilles. Amicorp Management Ltd. is a British Virgin Islands company, with a business address of Marcy Building, 2nd Floor, Purcell Estate, P.O. Box 2416, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
     George J. Schultze, a citizen of the United States of America, is the Managing Member of SAM, and a director of Schultze Master Fund, Ltd. George J. Schultze exercises sole voting and investment control over SAM. George J. Schultze’s business address is 3000 Westchester Avenue, Purchase, NY 10577.
     This Amendment No. 1 reports Schultze Asset Management, LLC’s and George J. Schultze’s indirect beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the following Managed Accounts in the indicated amounts:

5


 

         
    Shares of Common Stock of  
Managed Account   the Company  
Schultze Master Fund, Ltd.
    907,681  
Arrow Distressed Securities Fund
    89,329  
TOTAL
    997,010  
     In addition, this Amendment No. 1 reports the direct ownership of Schultze Master Fund, Ltd. of 996,710 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
     Except as set forth below, during the past five years, neither of the Reporting Persons have been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result thereof was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
     As a registered investment adviser, SAM is subject to periodic examinations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Without admitting or denying the allegations, SAM and George J. Schultze (the “Consenting Parties”), individually, consented to the entry of an order (the “Order”) issued by the SEC on August 15, 2007. The Order (i) censured the Consenting Parties under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), (ii) imposed a one-time civil penalty of a total of $150,000 on the Consenting Parties, and (iii) required the Consenting Parties to cease and desist from further violations of certain provisions of the Advisers Act. The Order resulted from allegations involving historic soft dollar activity for a managed account client of SAM and related antifraud, record keeping and document production issues identified in and arising in connection with a 2005 SEC examination of SAM. SAM has voluntarily taken certain remedial steps, including the retention of an outside compliance consultant, to help it achieve best practices in its compliance program. It is SAM’s belief that the financial terms of the Order are immaterial to its operations and its clients.
     Based on information provided to the Reporting Persons, during the past five years, neither Mr. Tyrol nor Amicorp Management, Ltd. has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     All funds used to purchase or acquire securities in the Company came directly from proceeds of investment advisory clients.
Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
     As a long-term shareholder of the Company, SAM is disappointed that the Company may, as disclosed in its Form 10-Q filed on February 8, 2007, be planning to pursue acquisitions that may be outside of the airline industry using shareholders’ cash. Rather than make acquisitions, either within or outside of the airline industry, SAM believes the board’s and Company’s best course of action would be to distribute any and all cash remaining after the reorganization transaction to shareholders as soon as possible in a tax-efficient manner. Separately, SAM believes that the Company should initiate efforts to sell its Big Sky subsidiary as soon as possible by retaining a nationally recognized investment bank to do so. SAM believes that the preceding two courses of action would serve to maximize value for the benefit of all the

6


 

owners of the Company. SAM may take additional steps to ensure that the Company implements these actions, including, but not limited to: (a) holding discussions with management, the board of directors of the Company and other shareholders of the Company concerning strategies to maximize shareholder value, (b) initiating proxy proposals, (c) initiating special shareholder meetings, and (d) other measures including litigation.
     It is SAM’s belief that the Company’s stock is substantially undervalued based on the amount of cash that would be distributed to shareholders in the event the board implements SAM’s suggestions. As such, SAM may also make proposals to the board, seek to change the composition of, or seek representation on, the board, all with the underlying purpose of increasing shareholder value. In addition, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares (i) for investment purposes, (ii) to change or influence the control of the Company, and/or (iii) with a view toward a possible acquisition of the Company.
Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) SAM and George J. Schultze (through SAM) beneficially own 997,010 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which represents approximately 6.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (based upon the 15,083,049 shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2007 as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 7, 2007).
     Schultze Master Fund, Ltd. directly owns 907,681 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which represents approximately 6.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (based upon the 15,083,049 shares of Common Stock believed by the Reporting Persons to be issued and outstanding, as described above).
(b) In its capacity as investment manager, and pursuant to revocable investment management agreements between SAM and each Managed Account, SAM has the power to vote and dispose of the Common Stock owned by the Managed Accounts, except as otherwise noted herein.
     On behalf of the Managed Accounts, SAM has the shared power to vote 997,010shares, owned by the Managed Accounts, of Common Stock of the Company, and George J. Schultze controls SAM. SAM has the shared power to dispose of 997,010 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
     Schultze Master Fund, Ltd. has the shared power to vote 907,681 shares of Common Stock of the Company, and has the shared power to dispose of 907,681 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
