Yeah. And you honestly think they would even consider that?

SLI like that has never been done. You're talking about carving out a partial block of pilots from a regional (how would these even selected?) and integrating them into another seniority list, all this without buying/acquiring/merging with that said regional. Just to cover flying for 20 airframes? That would keep the union/company lawyers busy for a very long time.

I know facts and numbers aren't really your forté, but come on now.
