I'm pretty sure Comair was formed to get around the Delta pilot's scope contract. Since, 9e and 9l are operating under a single joint contract with a pending SLI, I don't think 9l was purchased to get around the scope language of the pinnacle pilots. Colgan has never operated as NW airlink or for Delta.
