Whatever contracts NWA and DAL have they are still required to uphold them. I believe DAL and cancel ours if they notify withing a certain amount of time. I'm expecting Mesa to tank and CHQ to buy some Freedom ERJs. I know what the Pope is saying here about his feelings for 50 seaters but if CAL wants them CAL will get them.
Why do you hope Compass is sold to RAH. I bet you want the pilots to get stapled right?
Compass will not be sold the chances are Mesaba and Compass will merge. Mesaba's 200 will go away and it will be a 3 aircraft airline with no 50 seaters. It will probably have 90 76 seat A/C and 50 SF340.
