Thanks. I was not advocating for cabotage. If I were displaced to the C-Series to fly either of the scenarios I stated I would rather resign instead of risking tarnishing my name flying under a shady agreement like either of those.

Edit: My above statement still stands but wouldn't it only be cabotage if the aircraft were registered to a foreign carrier or the pilots were foreign? I am talking about Republic N-registered aircraft operated by Republic pilots operating US routes for a foreign carrier.
