Why do you consider this an insult? Because of the requirement to include "any" in the bid? It allows FOs, if they wish, to bid for a CA position without even meeting upgrade minimums and receive what will probably be 2nd or 3rd year pay north of $140 an hour months before they go to upgrade class. Or if you are a new-hire with previous 121 experience to start at $135 an hour. Yeah, you'd have to go wherever they send you, and hope to transfer to the domicile of your choice ASAP.
Do the AA regionals offering this have any restrictions on how it pays out?
