Those guys you speak of that wouldn't expect a widebody captain position are being realistic. However they sure as hell would love to beat me and thousands of other FO's on the legacy side of the list to that seat a few years down the road. So fences until our youngest retires or a staple should be the baseline opener for any ULCC being purchased by a Legacy.
Sure that could be the opener and I would expect nothing less. United pilots should look out for united pilots. But with us both being Alpa, I am sure there would be some type of fence but I don't think it would be 40 years. at some point you would need to be realistic just like you would want us to be. But it's all theory and I really doubt it happens.
