I haven't seen the verdict on the lawsuit, but over in the Regional forum, there's a post with a company memo from Ornstein. It says that they are amazed they lost, and JO specifically mentions the testimony of a Delta COO about "not counting the cancellations", and surprised that even with that testimony they lost. I think the cancellations stuff was a key part of the non-completion cancellation lawsuit, so I think Mesa lost that one too.

Maybe someone with PACER access can drum it up.

Edit: here's the press release:

PHOENIX, May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mesa Air Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:MESA - News) announced today that the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled against the Company's subsidiary Freedom Airlines in its litigation with Delta Air Lines regarding Delta's efforts to terminate an agreement covering 22 regional jet aircraft. The litigation stemmed from Delta's asserted termination of the Freedom Airlines agreement based upon flights canceled at Delta's request, during periods of operational irregularity (bad weather and ATC delays) at JFK in order to make way for Delta's larger jets, which were then retroactively held against Freedom for purposes of calculating its minimum flight completion factor. Based upon this retroactive calculation, the Court had issued a preliminary injunction in June 2008 prohibiting Delta from terminating the agreement. In reaching its decision today, the Court reversed its prior preliminary injunction preventing Delta from terminating the agreement. The Company is in the process of reviewing the Order and evaluating options going forward. Mesa has not yet reviewed its options for appeal.

"We are extremely disappointed by the District Court's decision. We have at all times sought to act as a good partner and work with Delta as a member of Delta Connection. Unfortunately Freedom's willingness to proactively cancel flights in JFK at Delta's request for the benefit of Delta was held against Freedom and was used as the sole basis to terminate our contract. It is disheartening that our Company and people will be punished retroactively for taking actions in good faith at Delta's direction," said Jonathan Ornstein, Chairman and Chief Executive of Mesa Air Group.

"We are greatly concerned for our approximately 500 employees who will be significantly impacted as a result of this decision, despite their hard work and commitment which has placed Freedom's operation at or near the top of the Delta Connection portfolio over the last year. The loss of these jobs, particularly under these circumstances is extremely disappointing. I would like to thank all of the employees at Freedom for the outstanding job they have done over the last two years under extremely difficult circumstances," continued Mr. Ornstein.
