Probably not right now...

1. Pilot shortage. OO will be having staffing troubles, so it would be better to mutually terminate a CPA than to fail to deliver on other CPAs with other brands.

2. Pilot shortage. Other regionals will be unable to deliver on CPA obligations so OO could easily shift capacity to cover shortfalls elsewhere.

I assume OO would want to some sort of payout for their trouble (repaint planes, move crew bases, etc) but I think it would be pennies on the dollar.
