You made some excellent points in your post. This one, in my opinion, is not one of them.
Members have been saying here that many regional FO's have been getting hired by majors while captains get passed over.
Couple that with the fact that due to the regional industry's erratic and arguably less stable nature you might find 25 year comair captains amongst the ranks and FO's waiting a decade to upgrade in some stagnated/furlough-prone companies. I don't think that supports your generalization.
