Just to put things in perspective, the entire yearly pilot contract for 800 Pinnacle pilots would be less than the cost of a few CRJ-900 aircraft. (no offense intended to Pinnacle pilots, it is just a fact of math)
What prevents management from threatening to merge with 9E if you tried a hostile recapture like that? Scope is extremely difficult to get back unless management gifts it back to you.
