I don't commute but fly with many that do and almost every single pilot that commutes does not even consider Pinnacle as an option if the flight is almost full. They say they have a better chance sitting on the john than in a CR2 jumpseat.
The compass/mesaba might have the same priority as mainline DAL and CMR on pinnacle but only after pinnacle pilots but ahead of other DCI carriers
