disclaimer biased-but that would be financial viable. the only reason that a mainline may farm out the feed to a multitude of regionals is to keep those regionals in business for future contract negotiation ploy's. The cost to mainline is more to farm out the feed (yes that is my opinion, no one has shown numbers to disprove) and control the quality and maintenance. They ae just passing liability but when it get to court the mainline has to cough up the money anyhow so no financial gain just a paid upfront whipsaw program.
