It cuts both ways, doesn't it? At the end of the day, IMO, a judge (or jury) would see both arguments but would tip to mainline simply because they own those routes in the first place and the regional company was simply one of many vendors hired in the regular course of business.
What a lot of armchair attorneys don't realize is that status quo prevails. You're going to have an easier time defending the status quo than defending drastic change that is a windfall for one party and a huge loss for the other. THAT is how the court system works.

Bit it seems we both agree it isn't going to come to that.
