Perhaps the OP made a poor choice of words, but his message is right on. Maybe the broken "model" fits better with what he's saying, but less dramatic. The current regional model, outsourcing close to half of domestic flying with cheap labor, has worked as long as regional pilots believe in that dangling carrot of a major job was just about in reach. But that regional model has been broken by the stagnation of age 65 and economic recession. The message finally registered with future aviators that the risks of this career outweigh the rewards and the pipeline is drying up. I think the OP's overall point is to join Stop the Whipsaw to help change the whole regional industry. It's hard to measure what effect STW has had so far, but I would guess it's pretty significant with XJT, Eagle, and RAH standing up in unison with resounding no votes. We've got the leverage now, and I think most regional guys realize that, no thanks to PSA of course.
