It's possible Skywest will act foolishly. But they're the only regional with a real chance to keep the lights on .. ie with enough senior people to run the training machine required. And, crucially, they have the ability to offer targeted bonuses without negotiating an LOA. They can afford to pay their LCA's $250k/yr and they can do it the second they want to. If anyone survives this, it will be skywest, but it will be because a skywest LCA job becomes a legit career destination

An airline cannot magically replace every LCA every three months. You can only make as many captains as you have people with 1000 hours.
skywest is the only regional that might survive that
