There is no Mesaba carve out for 36 jets in the NWA contract if mesaba is a wholly owned. The NWA pilots have filed a grievance against mesaba for operating 76 seat aircraft. According to the NWA pilots, mesaba must conform with the 76 seat jet rules set forth in the NWA contract to any mesaba 76 seat jet.
