Wouldn't put it past them but if that happened training expenses would go through the roof as you would be talking about initial training vs some type of transition training. Plus TSA contract addresses this by guaranteeing any TSA pilot displaced due to a TSA shutdown 50% of their longevity at a sister carrier (Gojet or Compass) so this really wouldn't save them that much in the end when training costs are considered.
Wouldn't training costs be very similar to retrain TSA on E175, if they are replacing all the E145s, versus moving them over to CPZ and training them there? Plus then you don't have the hassle and expense with adding the E175 to the TSA certificate. And like you said, they get all of those guys at half longevity. NOT saying I condone this!! But as we all know TSH is pretty ruthless.
