The answer to all of this is with the legacy carriers MEC's. They need to lay down the law to management that they get no more than 2 regionals that work on behalf of XXX. Then legacy carrier XXX gets flow back and flow through with those regionals.

I'm sure, like always, the legacy pilots will come back with the 'ol, "They'll want us to give up something to get that and we don't want to do it."

Ok, enjoy the furloughs while the 4-8 regionals take up the flying.

This started at the top and it must end with the legacy pilots. This will, in fact, weed out some regionals but that has needed to happen for a long time now.
