I'll give you credit for that. Those are all possible scenarios. The merger between Comair and Mesaba is unlikely. Both have way too many senior pilots. In other words both are top heavy in terms of labor rate. DAL has been trying to sell off Comair without any success. It's unlikely they would combine Comair with Mesaba which, by the way, will be a very attractive buy by the time DAL is done getting rid of all its Saabs and replaced with all jets.

As for selling Compass to RAH. I doubt that. Unless of course RAH agrees to pay everything DAL asks for.
