Well since you're new to Compass, you may not know why Compass was formed. Compass was formed to go head to head with NWA mainline flying. MESABA was not.
Compass was used to make NWA pilot's bend and is part of the TA which they signed. MESABA was not.
After Compass was formed to provide a low cost replacement for DC-9 flying (which must be replaced because the 9 mods the FAA approved a few years ago are timing out) MESABA was purchased from the evil empire (MAIR).
If you read the TA and read NWA's fleet plan, then you'll see what's going on.
