Not sure if you've ever been anywhere that had flying taken away, but once you violate the contract, its violated. There are no second chances. Gojet violated their contract several times, and because of that Delta can take flying away whenever they want. Their current performance can't make up for the fact that the contract was violated several times in the past. Delta can enforce their rights under the contract whenever they want to until and unless they negotiate a new contract with new terms.

Now, neither of us knows for sure the terms of contract do we? Is it not meeting performance criteria for a month, six months? Only Delta and GoJet can answer that definitively. If GoJet got close to breaking a performance metric, but then improved just enough to stay within the performance guidelines, Delta can’t exercise their rights to nullify the contract. When was the last time Delta was able to do that. Freedom Airlines I believe? And their performance was much worse than GoJet’s ever was. Even then, Freedom/Mesa tried to sue Delta for not honoring the contract. So yes, I’m very familiar with how the contract/regional sector works. And I also know how hard it is to break a contract

I think you underestimate how enraged Delta was over the whole Lufthansa fiasco. And I remember what a dumpster fire Freedom was, but I don't ever remember Delta telling their crews not to use Freedom to commute because they are so unreliable. And no, Freedom never had a meltdown like Gojet had when they started using Lufthansa. Yes they tried to sue, but weren't successful. Those Delta execs are brutal and play a mean game. Being a Mesaba/Pinnacle/Colgan/Endeavor employee you should know how Delta enjoys giving people the royal screw. Gojet won't be the first carcass on their wall. We'll see what happens and leave it at that....
