Sure, majors will hire from carriers that do not feed their hubs that would be bad business. They will ravage the ranks of the non wholly owned carriers first before destroying their own feed. They will restrict Flow/Pref interviews at wholly owned to a trickle to prevent the pilots they have from moving on in hopes of being able to feed their hubs. If you think the wholly owned is a perfect answer it is not. It is almost a guarantee that you will limit your ability to move to a major by 1/3 once the music stops. IMHO
