Emirates is a decent job for a lot of pilots. Especially those without a degree or wearing glasses. Chances are, Emirates will get more experienced pilots anyway.

What would happen if UAL, DAL, AA, and SWA worked to each hire 100-200 ME-3 pilots in a year? Would that impact the ME-3 significantly?

Then that means there are 100-200 more regional, mil, charter pilots each year that would be forced to look elsewhere FO employment and might wind up at the ME3 anyways.

That's the way it should have always been no regionals, you get hired to a legacy and start out in a 70/76 seater as the junior aircraft.

Not gonna happen. Some don't want to, and others have been deemed to be culturally unfit for legacies or have extenuating circumstances in their background major airline HR departments are unable to get over. This is evidenced by the abysmal pass rates at certain regionals with guaranteed interview programs. The Hogan test alone is eliminating roughly 30% of applicants at UAL CPP interviews. If the partnering major airlines wanted, they could offer a true flow instead but only AA offers that. There will always be a need for a cheaper outsourced labor and though i believe that segment of the airline indistry will shrink, it will not disapear. Rather, I would bet that legacy airlines will transition to an Ab Initio program like jetBlue where they can control the progression and development of each pilot from day 1.

Here's a list...

I don't like that either. But at least they don't lie about their subsidies.

Some of the majors, well let's be honest all of the majors have a preference for military trained pilots. They follow orders and of there far more prone to have an accident who cares, they look good in double breasted Blazers. So you can't blame pilots for taking any job available.
