There is nothing any pilot can do that is going to move the needle on this whole thing. Not a single thing.
However, I think a lot of pilots, myself included, are pro regime change with the C suite. We have already seen some movement in that direction offered up from the current execs. Elliott wants more, including Bob Jordan. I happen to agree with that. Our current batch of leaders has shamefully gotten us into this current predicament and caused the biggest meltdown in commercial aviation history all while taking bonuses and promotions. Nobody has been fired or even hinted at taking personal responsibility. That, to me, is enough to see them out the door. I can do greed, anti-labor, and ruthlessness, I can't do incompetence and cowardice.
You claim you can do greed, anti-labor, and ruthlessness, yet you complained about all that with current leadership. I think it could be much worse if this groups gets it's people in the C suite. Much more greed, much more anti-labor. I think we are about to jump from the frying pan directly into the fire and we are all going to get burned, especially the junior folks.
