It's always, ALWAYS, about the dollars.

The regionals can get all the pilots they want...they'll just have to up their game ($$ and QoL).

Say $20k/hr for FOs and $40k/yr for captains. X2 for QoL benefits. You'd probably get all the pilots you'd ever need.

What? Management doesn't want to pay that? Well, that's a different problem.
