There is an idea that is realistic and would get the attention of managements.
Good idea, but with some of the existing regionals out there, there isn't a SINGLE management out there that would let that be negotiated into a CBA. Seriously, do you think JO, or even BB or JA would allow that? Look what MESA pilots had to forgo in their last CBA just to rid themselves of the FreeDumb fiasco.
Also think about this; When an RFP is put out, and there is a contractor out there that is non-union, or doesn't have such such language in their CBA, who do you think is going to get the new awarded flying?
