There will be opportunity for everyone to move on to a better place than a regional.

Furthermore, WO's operate in the same market as non-WO carriers. The only thing a WO offers the mainline carrier is the ability to whipsaw other regionals or tightly control their regional product. Tell me a case where being on an end of a whipsaw or tighter control of a product benefits the pilot.
