If there is no way to know how much of an impact the vote had, why are you only ready to accept the scenario that it was harmful to the industry? Maybe it helped it? Here is another perspective that I'm sure you're not willing to consider:
The vote kept the airline alive with a scheduled adjustment period in its contract that should be sought after by every other regional airline in the industry. If the no vote shut down the company, other airlines would not have to try and match this powerful and rare qol tool.
I'm not saying that I know for a fact what would have happened if the vote had a different outcome, but your posts suggests that you are somehow privy to this hypothetical information, and that the inevitable verdict is that PSA is, once again, responsible for everything that's bad in the world.
