Not when there is a labor shortage they may not be able to; there is a glass floor to cost.
Also the majors are not always buying service on price. If XYZ regional can't provide reasonable service (on time departures, not cancelling flights due to maintenance and staffing, etc), it doesn't matter how inexpensive they are.

Get your training, pass an interview, spend some time actually working in this industry and then your opinions will likely change.

And yet I will say it again, here we are with Republic who has two new amended contracts, possibly with a soon to be third, that all pay higher flight rates than they previously did.
So tell me, if all the carriers are lining up to underbid one another, why did Both Delta and United decide it was better to pay Republic more than to have to have another airline take over the flying?
Republic not being able to staff the flying HAS indirectly costed the respective majors more for them due to the brand hit as well as having to have (an)other carrier(s) step in to try and cover that flying.

It was an example. Thought maybe a smart guy lol you could understand the parallel relationship. Less oil/gas but a strong demand equals higher prices because people will still buy it.

I understand the point you were trying to make, just funny that there is no supply/demand pricing when it comes to oil. Unfortunately, there isn't much now a days that is a true economic supply/demand for elastic pricing. Everything is manipulated. As such, oil is more of a speculation driven market, than a supply demand.

Anyone discussing how change will not be possible because of how things have happened in the past are doing just that..living in the past. Times have changed. The situation with the shortage at the regionals has never been seen before.
Anyone who says regional pilots will not be able to stand together to increase wages in this time where the pendulum swings in their favor loses all credibility.
Some have mentioned supply and demand. Supply of pilots is dwindling and demand is ever increasing. Time to capitalize.
