The only thing in the contracts I'm aware of that allows an early reduction in aircraft would be if Pinnacle starts service for another airline (hence the new DL service = CRJ's to Mesaba)... In this case, NW could remove planes at a 1:2 ratio if I'm not mistaken. Still an overall gain for Pinnacle.
