Well the poop will hit the fan for sure. Pax numbers are about to explode. I would guess that the airlines ignore it and pay up when it gets grieved. They can't explain to their customers that there is no flight because the mainline pilots won't let regionals take them, and also can't explain why they don't have enough airplanes or current and qualified pilots to fly them while taking money from Uncle Sam three times so the travel system would be ready when demand returned..
