Regional pilots have a ton of blood on their hands as well. There is this funny theory called market economics that drives the value of all commodities including labor. You chose to value your labor at such a low wages and thus make it more tempting to airline management. If you and other regional pilots had said no, then the wages would have come up until sufficient pilots were found who would work at decent wages. Or better yet it would have been uneconomical to farm it out and it would have stayed at mainline.
Your desire to use RAH as a "stepping stone" and not care what you get paid is a big part of the problem.
Some pilots were indifferent, some were greedy, and some were ignorant. It doesn't change the fact that everyone had a hand in making it what it is today.
