I would be interested in some time on a "modern" airplane to check off a box on certain applications. I have, however, zero, nill, none, no interest in slaving at regional FO wages to get it. It sounds like, unless many of the current CAs and FOs are hovered up to the majors that this won't be an option.
If you're encouraging off the street captain hiring and by passing current and qualified first officer's you're insane.
No one and I mean no one would fly with you. You would be looked at as the scum of the industry. I would call in before I flew with such a "street captain" and it wouldn't be sick. It would be due to it being impossible to possibly have a safe flight deck with that captain.
