Sorry to destroy your illusion guys, but CRX was just as bancrupt as SR!!! Unfortunately SR's collapse created great distraction from Crossair's financial situation...
The simple reason, why Crossair was made to survive, instead of Swissair, is that it was much easier to create a new airline under the hood of CRX, as SR was integrated into the SAirGroup in such a complex mannor, that it would have been much to complicated and costly to untangle that mess...
It is an absolutely ridiculous daydream, that the seniority-zipper should be applied!!! That way you would have experienced ex-SR Pilots flying as F/Os with ex-CRX Pilots who have half of the SR guy's flying experience!!! Any Pilot who has had a decent CRM (Crew Ressource Management) training, should be able to imagine how flight safety would be affected, if the seniority zipper were applied...
