Your opinion is not supported by recent research in our field.
They aren't enering the profession because they want to go make a difference; they are chooing other professions because the cost/benefit to this profession is no longer there.
UND sends that poll out like literally every semester I was there. From Lovelace right? That data changes a lot and it's sent to everyone and not just people just shy of ATP mins but kids in 102 as well when they have no idea about anything in the industry. So much info from professors who haven't been in the industry for years is being passed along to them.

Regionals won't completely disappear but I can see a pre 9/11 size industry. Short hops again, not these 2+ hours legs in a 200.
