Would they walk off all at once? No. But you'd see a big exodus over about 24 months as folks dust off the resumes and non-pilot skills. Maybe 10% that would either have family circumstances or old enough and wealthy enough to just hang it up. The rest would have to move to base, although there might be some limited CBA accommodation for positive space commuting.

In a way we’re fortunate he made the attempt in someone else’s flight deck and failed instead of his own where their outcome may have been very different.

This has got absolutely nothing to do with jumpseating. It could have easily been a working crewmember who flipped out (See Jetblue 191, Sunwings, etc)
This is about mental health and since the FAA has shown zero interest in pilot mental health in the past, I wouldn't expect a whole lot this time around

Sure - I can't disagree but we are all going to be wearing diapers for a while.

Im not a scientist but I would imagine there is plenty of data showing that an extra qualified crew member on the flight deck increases safety much more than literally a 1 in a million event like this.
