I wonder why we never hear from the major / legacy pilot groups clamoring to do ALL their company flying ?
If company XXX has a need for a 19 / 30 / 50 / 70 / 76 seat aircraft on any route, why doesn't that pilot group demand that it be done by company pilots in company planes ?
Why is there a floating (and arbitrary) line of how many seats to be flown by company pilots ?
