There's no way PSA will staff the infusion of 77 RJs even if all of 9E's FOs bail.
Stay where you're at until you move up, let the system crumble, and for f@&$ sakes let the legacies fix this.
You're so far off in left field I don't even know where to start. You're an idealist and not a realist. The regional industry won't be fixed by mainline. The regionals are a place to get in to and then get out of ASAP. If I am going to gain PIC time, have better work rules, better QOL and a better paycheck at XYZ airline vs staying at 123 airline then I'm going to XYZ airline. You're giving the mainline carriers too much credit if you think their goal is to make sure you keep making lateral moves. That's a by-product of their goals.
