I think part of it stems from the corporate philosophy of we're all crewmembers and everyone is equal. Kinda like the prior philosophy that all customers are equal. They finally changed their tune and offer multiple tiers of value for customers. The same is going to have to happen for the pilots vs other crewmembers. Fact is, a ramper probably IS on par with another ramper at a major. Pilots? Not so much. In order to "attract and retain," that'll have to change.
