They were able to
seek an injunction because of the devastating impact that the contract cancellation would have had. They were
granted the injunction because there was enough evidence that Mesa was in the right. The CRJ contract did not get an injunction because DL owns those planes, but Mesa is still taking that to court...
DL put Freedom in the toughest environment with the toughest schedules. To compare Freedom with Skywest or any other DCI, who operates in a cushy environment with lax schedules, is unfair.
DL could buy out of the contract, but it would be unwise financially to do so (at least from what I've heard...)
