So yes, it does reaffirm what was said all along. Also with the 787 in LAX. Notice pilots not in the top 10% can't bid it because it went senior, but all the guppy Captain slots went more junior?
So widebody = desirable. Guppy = less desirable.
Which is why they are putting the new hires in the right seat of the guppy. They can't get enough pilots to want to fly the cute little thing.....
