You just described life at most regional carriers. I don't know the situation but I am sure that airlines all over the country are studying what NWA did to the mechanics and will come up with a plan to do the same with pilots. I always thought that a way they could do it was to form a cousin company in order to train the crews. If a strike were to happen then all the pilots could move over to the main line and the weaker company could suffer and not the big one. Or perhaps the cousin company could step in and take over the schedule. If mesaba can have a NWA logo painted on the side why not Sun Country? No one would know the difference.
