It definitely happened with DAL and OO during the last big boom. Nothing hypothetical about it, majors are not going to shoot their own regional feed in the foot if push comes to shove. Nothing illegal about it.

But there won't be any big announcement, you'll never know when STOPLOSS is in effect.
