These airlines kick around lots of ideas particularly now when pilot supply (one way or another) is an issue. Sometimes we get to hear about them...often we don't. This is my favorite one re Horizon Air from two years ago. What became of this ?:

“Haugaard outlined another workaround to the U.S. rule that Horizon is considering.

He said Alaska Air is in discussion with “a major international airline” about a plan to have prospective pilots go overseas, “operating under different rules,” and build up their 1,500 flight hours flying for the foreign airline in a Bombardier Q300 turboprop, an earlier variant of the Q400, then returning to the U.S. to fly for Horizon.”
