IMO there are aspects of the strategy you infer that create more problems then they solve. IMO, you're more likely to simply see pilots just leaving and not trying to make any statement other then they want to get on with their lives and stop existing in this absurd environment. A lot could afford it and others sound like they can get other gigs.
Personally, the thought of breaking my butt under anything like that TA for minimal reward while the fat cats explode their personal wealth at my expense is of no interest to me. I'm sure they could find thousands of hungry RJ drivers who would push their grandmothers down a steep flight of stairs to touch a new A319 for $40/hour though.
