It happens so often that it's part of the culture here.
Don't forget, we're the 5th largest airline* (if you include our wholly-owned regional in the count)
Not saying that hasn't been your experience but I haven't flown with a single pilot in 7+ years here that's ever bragged about or otherwise given weight to our "Legacy" status. As far as I know, nobody gives an ish. We want a contract based on merit, not categorization.
