So long as the regional pilots keep showing up for work and keep falling over each other for the "quick upgrade" or SJS the company leadership will continue to do the least it possibly can for the employee groups. As we've seen, only when they desperately need pilots do they start throwing out bonuses or raising pay, and not a second sooner than necessary. And note - those bonuses are temporary. As soon as they find they don't need them or find a way around them the extra cash is gone. That could happen a lot of ways, and one of them is consolidation.
