What is your source for the date?
Neider said next April. But the planes weren’t all delivered at the same time, so maybe, likely?, come off contract at the same rate of roughly two per month? Compass folks still think they are keeping them, but if they don’t have anything else to replace Delta flying, they couldn’t keep a contract going with only 20 planes if they wanted to. But if Compass does get more flying, likely it will be from Mesa, so they will be in trouble. Either way, I think there will be some consolidation over the next year. Delta for one has said they want to eliminate 50 seaters. I don’t know the specifics of their contract and scope, but that likely means less regional and more mainline with something like the A220, which they are already flying.
