Sorry if i have no simpathy for them or care to hear the explanation while our first year FO's are literally eating food out of the RJs because they have no money.
But i hear what youre saying. I think as time goes by and more ex regional pilots get into more powerful positions we might see a shift.
Most of us will never forget the regional years. And seeing $600 paychecks flying a jet. (Makes it hard to be cordial with any mainline)

They all may uses a different process, but they're ALL using a broad range of backgrounds.

Been through a furlough, multiple displacements and a shutdown.
And although your username has a ring that's sadly been a mantra of this career, GET OVER THAT MANTRA.
Start making YOURSELF standout.
And as far as seeing "regional pilots get into more powerful positions", I'm not so sure that would be true. HR has MORE control now than EVER, doesn't matter which airline.
We're long past the point were "pilots hire pilots". SURE, pilots still have a say. But not nearly as much as they used to.

I highly suggest that if you want to move on to a mainline…any mainline…or even most so called LCC's even, that you let go of that angst and focus on the optimistic sides of the opportunities ahead, for your sake. YMMV.
