Sort of. Lost half its flying and couldn’t survive on just what was left. Doesn’t exactly matter WHY you lose flying, be it losing your contract, bad management, or losing your CAs, if you drop below a certain level you lose economies of scale and what’s left can’t support the overhead.

Most major unions would not be so accommodating, they would view that as money which needs to be distributed to the pilot group as a whole. As I said before, and MEC could agree via side-letter but that might be at their peril.
And no, they cannot just do it with no recourse, the union could grieve that.

The are Hulas' favored child, when he desperately needed union busters the OG were ready and willing, and stepped up to the plate. Apparently he still remembers that (yes I know that few of those folks probably remain on property).
The mesa pilots had better luck, they managed to force the re-integration of Freedom A back into mesa, otherwise they'd probably be in a similar boat, with F-A the favored entity.

Compensation outside the CBA is not allowed and they all have reacted to it, each in their own way.

It would be a long shot, but if that was the only way to poach pilots to stay afloat they would try it. It wouldn’t affect seniority for bidding but allow pilots to coming over preserve their years of service for pay and retirement.

Not without a union LOA - unless it was a pre-hire bonus
