So basically the majors have SkyWest by the balls and are squeezing hard. And it sounds like SkyWest has no leverage to counter them.
Honestly, does anyone think that if they didn't have a weight clause forced on them they would suddenly start flying 737s/A320s and compete against their partners?

Its mutually beneficial to both parties. The franchisee gets to easily sell a well known, viable product without doing much marketing and the corporate parent collects royalites without having to manage the restaraunt.

How about this: The pilots' collective bargaining agent has a contract with the airline that includes a restriction that specifies all aircraft above a certain weight or with more than a certain number of seats must be flown by those pilots if the flying is done under the code/marketing of the airline for which they fly. Further (in Delta's case) if any regional affiliate exceeds those restrictions, even under another code/fee-for-departure agreement, they may no longer fly under a regional affiliate/codeshare/fee for departure with that airline.
Not ownership of a "code." More than a vote. A contractual restriction.
