Does anybody know if there is a stipulation for the remaining Mesaba flows that says if Pinnacle is sold, the flow can be terminated? Just like the original flow through? That would put everybody on the list into the SSP. I thought I heard compass has something that says the flow can be renegotiated if they are sold again.

Further, the regional guys (at least the ones I know) had been preparing and flying Delta passengers for so long that they kind of knew the right things to say and do to get hired. IMHO a good record flying for Delta means something.
The military pilots are a known pool of high qualified applicants. But, nowadays, so are pilots who have been serving Delta and flying Delta passengers for years.
If I were a military pilot, I would be equally concerned about regional competition. The statistics bear this out. You can improve your odds by getting involved either in semi management positions (ex LCA, Safety, CP) or volunteer work. It is easy to volunteer for something. Delta has Habitat builds all over the place, Heritage Foundation Museum, etc ... that's one way to become "well connected."
