Not sure it is challengeable - assuming that's even a word.
F9 has broad discretion in hiring and unless they are violating some federal law for a protected class (which regional pilots as a group aren't) I don't think you can touch them. As for TSH, I doubt the contract even mentions conspiring with a major to constrain hiring, sort of a reverse scope clause really. I mean you can always sue if you want to pay the lawyers for their time, but I'm not sure there is any great prospects for benefitting by the suit. Nor is it really clear that the pilot group as a whole would be damaged since the number able to flow exceeds the historic hiring from Compass of F9 pilots.
Take it up with ALPA HQ maybe? Frontier is ALPA too.
