I could be wrong but it sure would be interesting to see the profit margin if a company were to park regional jets and solely operate mainline aircraft, or operate regional jets with mainline crews.

It's all just conjecture, but I'm not sure the three largest legacy carriers would be in a position to operate in the same (efficient) manner if the regionals were to disappear tomorrow.
