You obviously didn't suffer enough and the regional model for paying significantly less to shorter term pilots should come here too to give more money to those who are already out of those pay steps.

You didn't reference the false flag he inserted that a new hire would get the same as a 777A, but I will. This isn't about paying a new hire the same as a senior WB CA. It is, however, about not screwing over junior pilots because that's how the regionals always did it. Regionals did it to shift more money senior at contract time since many pilots weren't long timers anyway. At a career airline a pilot will make more over a career reaching top out pay sooner with smaller jumps at each step, that's all there is to it.
