Really, so if you can hold widebody captain and you are any age, you can go to training without a bid and subvert the sacred seniority system? I'll bet even Foxhuter would agree that they will have to "bid what they want to fly" and then be trained in seniority order. Remember, if/when this thing changes, they are just part of the seniority list, no different, no special favors. If Big Wave Dave Webb wants to "request to return to the line" in an expedious manner, all he has to do is to start stacking his over 60 buddies on top of the line holders without a bid. Any recall effort would gain traction, including my support.
