You know what they say when you assume...
There has been no talk of additional aircraft. IF NWA were to purchase additional regional jets, they could just as easily buy EMB-175s for Compass, or place additional CRJ900's with another carrier. There is absolutely no reason to assume Mesaba will get any additional aircraft, as least in the near future.
