Has it started yet? It was supposed to start at the beginning of September. Comair has been having some problems the past year. In any case if they issue a confirmed ticket for a specific date, then it would be fully protected, while (as mentioned) open-dated is not protected. My experience with Comair is that they just won't issue a ticket if they are not sure a route will operate, so it may not be possible to get this issued until after they run the first flight.
