Two months ago Comair said we were getting 7 Freedom aircraft. Did you see it as "new" flying then?
Absolutely not, because it wasn't. Because if it were, you would certainly see the Sky West guys freaking out cause they didn't get their cut

This was not an award. Lets not get into semantics here. Yes, Pinnacle may feel like they were awarded with flying this week, but the fact remains that these 7 Freedom aircraft were existing DCI aircraft. Not a new award, rather a reallocation.
The new flying clause in the contract was just a tease.
