NOT suggesting someone stay 25 years waiting on one shot. I think they need to view themselves as independent contractors. The best way to make themselves marketable as a pilot is not by giving up seniority to log shiny new jet time. It's by logging TPIC, turbine, and getting additional type ratings. Now if they can move laterally to get a faster upgrade or DEC, that might be different.
