Of course it is. Many pilots first airline job is the right seat of an RJ. What planet are you from? I didn't say it should be. I said it is.

Of course not. Who said that? It just is what it is.

Of course not. Circumstances in last 10 years have made moving on tougher than usual but that hasn't stopped many from doing so. And it's not a question of FAIR. You don't get what's fair in life. You get what you negotiate or what someone else negotiated on your behalf. (Thank you ALPA volunteers and staff and the thousands that sacrificed before me.)
