Now, your concern should be what if United cuts SkyWest's contract, causing furloughs, and shifts the flying to another regional? But you don't see that as a possibility because you're not able to figure out how it would be implemented.
That whole pilot shortage thing at the regional level is solved by SkyWest furloughees looking for a job with another carrier that got a bunch of former OO flying.
