And it would require sign off by both National and DALPA. The real solution is to bring the CRJ900 and E175 to mainline. There would be no shortage of extremely well qualified applicants, operational integrity would be ensured, and redundant costs would be eliminated while every 9E pilot would get a $$ and career windfall even with a straight staple. They would probably go very junior as pilots bid into them and if your goal is to be an RJ Captain you could probably do so early on.
