There are quite a few people at most regionals who have no plans to leave the regionals and would pitch a fit over any kind of absorption that they wouldn't have the right to pass up.
They can barely get flow throughs to accept the FO mentality and fly the plane. Forcing them to go would wash them out of training and put them on the street.
