I agree.
But I'll also observe that nearly 100% of the "QOL" widebody FOs at sUAL were previously a narrowbody CA at UAL, either prior to 9/11 or on the guppy till the bitter end, and have already checked the CAPTAIN box on their resume. They've seen both sides and are now bidding their seniority (i.e. doing whatever they want).
