Not for Delta they won't. Are you just ignoring scope clauses or do you just not know what your talking about?
CAL: 50 seats
DAL: very limited number of 76 seats
NWA: not sure with their Compass arrangement, NWA guy let us know
AMR: limited number of 70 seats, and APA wants it all on their list, yes!!!

You get my point, if these contracts where going to be defeated it would have been during the bankruptcies. Major pilots would have to be suicidal to allow anymore scope relief. Of course sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

Having flown for two of the biggest regionals and one major I can't imagine why you would voluntarily advocate making your career at a regional. Maybe if you were super senior and in the training dept. or something, or had some sweet home every night setup, but other than that I just don't get it.
