You are completely right sir. Very insightful. Doesnt matter how much the legacies my want to reduce domestic flying, they are not stupid enough to lose the revenue from those areas, nor the presence an RJ gives them. If mainline does not go there, the regionals will always have a flight. And that is a lot of flying that Mesa does in the SW, mid-west, NW, and west coast, just to mention a few areas. Look at their route maps and pay attention to how many cities they go where mainland either doesn't go, or just have one flight into it. Some of it will go by the wayside, but the large majority will be scooped up by the other regionals.
