I don't think the undercutting is a problem. There are furloughed guys flying right seat of the RJ/Brasilia right now(Jets 4 Jobs) for horrible pay so that's no big deal. Just take the same pay rates. Done.

I think they're more then willing to do this. The obvious fight would be from lifers at the regionals. But it's not their flying. It belongs to mainline, and so will most of the jets.
