737 should only be an option for new hires if every other pilot at the company has passed it up. That's how seniority works.
The general workaround for that is to negotiate bypass pay for all pilots above the junior category pilot who receives the award. All RJ pilots get 737 FO pay? Now you're talking something a bit more palatable.
