Yeah, sure, 'cause you said it, I'm shaking in my shoes now. Of course Mesaba can be made or broken in a day, just by the whim of management. Virtually any regional can. That's what makes your chest thumping so ridiculous.
I understand reality: Any airline can be screw*d whenever such scr*wing will make management more money. PCL, XJet, XJ, Comair, ASA, it doesn't matter who. If a scr*w job will make someone money, then a scr*w job shall happen. Your "PCL is so special" contract is meaningless.
