By winning the injunction Mesa is entitled to either continue to fly for delta until the court case in heard or if mesa would go on to win the court case delta must pay mesa for all the flight hours they would have flown.
Which means Mesa gets every single hour of their flying back because Delta doesnt want to risk having to pay Comair to do it and then pay mesa if they lose the court case.
The problem is Delta already pulled back the schedule in JFK and MCO. So Delta had to give them back everything they previously had in JFK plus some of Comair's to make up the difference.
