Overall, your wish will come true.
The only way the regionals get bigger is if the majors allow them to. Regional flying is contract work. The employees at majors need to demand a stop to the rising contract work in all areas not just the pilots. When the contract work stops, the pay will go up.
It may seem useless to fight for what is right, but without a fight nothing is accomplished.
