It is not earned in any way other than breathing long enough until enough people ahead of you retire.
It is merely a symbolic title and the fact that SO many people get their panties in a wad over a manager several steps up the chain having that title proves that most airline pilots are nothing more than sensitive babies.

To try to get the thread back on topic....
It makes sense to me for someone in management to say they want a contact before amendable date.
I’m sure they are cognizant of Ed saying “no contract this year” + the anti-union/ buy an Xbox situation going on right now = bad optics for the company...especially if we don’t get a contact and the NMB gets involved.

Back off topic.
Captains get paid more to 1) taxi and 2) deal with the BS. The extra pay does not grant one super powers—not even to “mentor” first officers on every aspect of life. (Shout out to my homeboy, if you’re reading).
I do appreciate the retired Navy folks who, sitting in the right seat, not-so-subtly mention that they retired after 20-something years as a captain. Took you that long? Damn! I made captain in four years...in the militia...and then I quit!
