If they start their own airline they will buy a certificate and hire their own pilots from the top tier of the industry, not a bunch of guys with DUIs on their records or teamsters that will cause more trouble than it is worth.
Your arrogance is exceeded only by your ignorance. At my particular ACMI carrier, the number of pilots hired away by the majors in the past few years, far outstrips the "5%" you suggest are worthy. Collect your facts, then make a cogent argument; rather than launching baseless cheap shots against pilots you know nothing about.
