I read that Pinnacle became independent of NWA after buying back shares in January 2008. Delta is trying to terminate it's contract with Pinnacle like it is with Mesa's Freedom Subsidiary. I think it's so that they can not only cut the number of RJ's as quickly as possible but also for the draw down in capacity this fall. They might also be doing this so that they can bring DC-9's in post merger on routes that Pinnacle was flying with the larger CRJ-900's.

If you want to know what a company is doing you will find it on www.sec.gov. If they are publically listed, they would have to file with the SEC.
