Would you think the same way if whatever company you work for is sold? Be careful what you wish for.
If any future scope concessions were only granted to wholly owned companies it would not be in the parent companies interest to sell them.
The eventual result sometime in the future would be a consolidation of the mainline and regional part 121 operations into just one airline to streamline operations and reduce costs.
