I can't remember the proper term but I mean like what US airlines do with their regional carriers. An airline wishing to have flights operated for them would put out contracts, saying I want this many frequencies on this route with this much capacity, and I'll pay this much. The "big" airline would pay for the gate, slots, in flight service and receive the ticket sales. "Small" airline would pay for the crew, aircraft, and fuel, and receive a set amount per month from the "big" airline. This would be a cool way to replicate regional airlines but also wet lease operators and such as well.

You can do this in essence by using the carriers in a single alliance and using those connecting pax at large bases. I've done this quite successfully with Southern in the past.
