Pinnacle flights with 8xx flight numbers

Was just perusing the flight schedule HSV-ATL for the near future.

Mainline departed early in June, announced to return in September (we'll see.) (The schedule actually shows it back on 9/01, but I think that's just the older schedule which has not been updated.)

On July 2nd our CR9 service seems to go from a combination of ASA and Pinnacle to Pinnacle only.

The weird thing is the flight numbers are 868, 864. 892, and 901. The downloadable PDF flight schedule identifies 800-849 being Delta Connection Northwest - NW.

They have 5800-5899 identified as Pinnacle, but I guess they needed more numbers.

I always thought any number below 2100 was mainline.

Anyway looks like we stay at 12x daily to Atlanta with 4 of those being CR9. Effective 7/02, they even moved up the earliest flight to 5:00 a.m. Too early for me even if I live 8 miles from HSV!

Interesting stuff in the never-ending world of schedule changes.
