Based on some things I have heard from managers is that the regional tells them how many block hours and/or hub and spoke round trips they can satisfy, and the "host airline" as it was put makes the choice to cancel A, or C, and maybe keep D or B.
Good analogy...."host airline." Sorta like a tick latching on to it's host. Can't thrive and survive without latching on to and sucking the life out of the host.
