If Mesaba is sold, the union has to agree to continue the flow through.
If they don't agree, then Delta has to reduce the 76 seaters from around 150 down to 85.
The MEC has management right by the b@!!$.
It will be interesting to see if they squeeze 'em.

Actually ALPA has a lot of power at this moment.

Okay Super, I have a picture in mind... I will post it. You can't erase it Mr. Mod... 
Oh wait, why did I think you were a mod? I was thinking J29. All you A320 guys look a like.

Mesaba CRJ900's are owned by Delta (NW owned them on factory delivery).
Mesaba Saab 340's are leased by Delta (NW leased them from SAAB).
Delta maintains ownership/leases of all aircraft listed above with the transactions.
What I don't know about are the CRJ-200's at Mesaba and Pinnacle. Under NWA they were controlled/leased by NWA and then farmed out. Mesaba's CR2 fleet only exists because NWA took them from Pinnacle and placed them at Mesaba after Pinnacle pilots didn't agree to certain terms. But I get the impression that since the merger the leases on the CR2's at Pinnacle & Mesaba are no longer sub-leased from Delta.

I'm sure we'll see some fine performance from the Compass and Mesaba pilots when/if the flow gets shut down. Nothing against those guys, I just think motivation might become an issue.

I don't have their contracts in front of me, but I would think they probably have to agree to any continuation or modifications to the flow-throughs.
If they don't play ball, and the flow "ceases to be available", that triggers the 85 airframe restriction in Delta's scope clause.
Its a tangled web.
