multiman,
Those are two separate issues.
The airline isn't the entity requiring you to spend 1,000 hours in the RHS in a Part 121 operation. The federal government requires this by regulation. There's nothing an airline can do about that.
As for going to the "end of the waiting list", if you go to an airline with a formal, enforced seniority list then you will start at the bottom and wait for circumstances (over which you largely have no control) to provide you the opportunity to bid for a captain position just like 10s of thousands of us have done for many decades. Sorry, but that's how it's done here. I guess it doesn't suit everyone.
Even if you could find yourself a start up airline hiring DECs for which you'd certainly be qualified, you'd still face the 1,000 hour issue. Sorry...
