I agree that these flights should be flown by mainline, but is that hurting 9E? Were they doing those flight before Mesaba and Compass? Is that the reason for the 9E cutbacks in MSP?

yeah we still do some of them but mesaba and compass have started doing the majority of them now on the 900 and 175.
no its not hurting pinnacle though. everytime they take a flight from us we get a new one. like we are doing a mem to orf flight. and a mem to hartford. those are just as bad! there has been a decrease in flight hours in msp, but the amount they took has been moved to mem and dtw. so no lose and no gain.

I think what he means (and this goes for Pinnacle too) is that there are a lot of flights that XJ, CZ, and 9E do for NWA that are not even close to regional flights. Compass has the most of them I believe. Here are some examples:
Compass: MEM-PHX, DTW-Monterry Mexico, MSP-BOS
XJ: DTW-DFW, DTW-ORD, MSP-MSY
9E: MEM-BOS, IND-SAT, MSP-SAV
Its just a sign of the times now, I am sure this goes on at every airline. Its all about how many people are going where, but in the case of DTW-ORD you could put 10 757's on that route and it would always be full
