the major union is going to do everything they possibly can to stop it from happening. A guy flying 777s has zero interest in allowing himself to be displaced by someone who has been flying CRJ-200s for the last 20 years.
Your list happens with any M&A if it was so prohibitive as you say then there would be no M&A which we know is far from the case with airlines. Your point about the SLI law is interesting because there is no precedent with it, we don’t know how it will look when used. So you jumped from no-staples to regional lifers displacing 777 captains, yet the law you posted doesn’t say no-staple and it doesn’t say 777 captains get replaced, it says “fair and equitable”. “Fair and equitable” is very wide, especially if both parties agree.
Again I wouldn’t bet on MESA, RP, OO being bought and integrated, but it could happen.
