Perhaps it might prove to be beneficial to the industry if Safety Standards and Medical Crew's ability to run off pilots for any reason what so ever are improved. Sometimes the lack of competition can improve rates and thus working conditions particularly in a unionized company.
There is economy in scale...it allows for more centralized training...investment in simulators...spare aircraft for training and replacing unserviceable aircraft and the like.
