Sure they would. Look at Delta. They closed Comair and Sold ASA.
None of their regional flying was wholly owned until they VERY RECENTLY (in the grand time frame) bought what is now Endeavor OUT OF BANKRUPTCY.
You are crazy to think they won't put the flying at the lowest cost carrier that can reliably do the flying. And not only do the regional carrier pilot really have no say, the regional managements have little or no say.
And now you are seeing the regional flying overall SHRINKING and mainline flying INCREASING and CEOs stating that is their future intention. Sorry, but you are simply WRONG!
