She'll have to do it all over again at Christmas, so we hope she had several trips worth of delays and snafus this time.
MSP -> CWA Operated by Pinnacle Dba Delta Connection , there's your answer right there

These characters stranded me once on 21 DEC in MSP due to lack of crew. Good luck. Believe it or not, when my Pinnacle flight was canceled the GAs dissapeared!
According to the Rhinelander Airport, new EAS service from RHI to MSP will be initiated 4 January and that carrier will be Skywest. So there is hope at RHI.
