And if the other majors are doing the same thing (Blacklisting their own DCI carriers), everyone is simply poaching one another's regionals. Makes no sense.
Those pilots are going to leave for someone, it might as well be for their own 'parent'...
It really is stupid and short sighted. The only real way to keep wholly owned regional pilots around for their flow would be to make the mainline job so rewarding and appealing that they don’t want to go to the mainline competitors.
Instead we have metering of the wholly owned OTS hires and destruction of the mainline QOL, which are great incentives to stick around
