Without that management would have LOVED 3 separate contracts and associated whipsaw.
If memory serves me correctly your MEC was negotiating to combine the two lists at one point.

It has everything to do with it; a violation of scope would be if Colgan started operating flights under the pinnacle ASAs with either Delta or NWA. There has never been an incident where Colgan was using Q400s or Saabs on NWA or Delta coded flights.
