The word expectation means to expect something. We have career expectations of holding the left seat and continuing to buy more aircraft. You have career expectations of being recalled, parking aircraft, and increasing the size of your domestic RJ fleet. No comparison there.

The size or most of any one aircraft type does not define career expectations. It defines what makes up an airline and types of flying that it does. It does not give any type of status to said pilot group.

It's category is defined by pay and the contract specification, i.e. 767, 737, 787, etc. Flying a widebody gives no more status or career expectations than does flying the smallest aircraft for said airline. If what you say is true, then the seniority list would be the same as DOH and you would never see an FO being senior to a CA.
