Let me play devil's advocate for a moment. (and no, I am not in management)

Put yourself in the shoes of a manager running a regional airline. Realistically, we can surmise that there is no shortage of people willing to
take flying jobs for low pay, low benefits, and lousy QOL issues. With that being said, where is the incentive for management to raise the bar when there is a surplus of people willing to lower it even further?

I would say a natural product of capitalism is supply and demand.
