Delta fronted the money, and will be paid back over 5 years I believe

Hopefully all three of our MEC's will get together and prevent any sort of whipsaw if at all possible.

Does this mean the "Mesaba New Hires" thread will finally die off?

So Sec 1.40.e Exception 2 states:

In the event the flow provisions of NWA LOA 2006-10 and LOA 2006-14 cease to be available, either at the feeder carrier affiliate referenced in such LOAs or at another carrier, the number of jet aircraft configured with 71-76 passenger seats specified in Section 1 B.40.d will revert to 85.

Yup from what I can tell, effectively Delta gave away Compass and Mesaba. And hope to get paid over the next several years. I am thinking more and more this was about dumping the flowthrough agreements more than anything else.

What's the max certified takeoff weight? If it exceeds 70,000lbs DAL scope does not allow it.

Edit: Looks like 64,500lbs. Passenger config would have to be 70 seats or less.

How will my pass benefits be affected? When will the benefits change?
There will be no immediate changes. However, in 2011 Mesaba employees will transition
to the “independent” regional airline pass travel program with Delta. That will mean the
loss of buddy passes, lower priority on some flights, equal privileges on Pinnacle Airlines
flights and some changes in pass-travel costs. We will keep you informed on the timing
and details of the changes.

We are merging lists, that is a fact. Be glad that both groups are ALPA or someone would be getting screwed.

They said they want to keep a prop certificate and a jet certificate. It looks like since Mesaba was getting rid of the Saabs that Colgan will take Mesaba's name and the jets will be folded into the Pinnacle type certificate.
