Why do you think management would
ever agree to a proposal like you are making, and if they did, what makes you think they'd ever hire more experienced (and more expensive) pilots over less experienced (less expensive) pilots given the option?
Additionally, how do you think pilots, pilot groups, and pilot unions would
ever be united enough to get such a proposal even forwarded industry-wide, let alone put in place and enforced?
And by the way, you aren't "trapped" at any airline - you're free to take your services elsewhere any time you wish.
