Yes, he has been very consistent on this front. A major part of his thesis for owning the commons is that Treasury's incentives, via the warrants, align with those of the commons.
The existing commons, which include Treasury's warrant shares, are economically worthless while the seniors exist in their current form. I don't think Ackman is in a position to make demands (and neither does he, see below), but senior pref cancellation is a prerequisite to the existing common and warrants having value to the market.
Right.
Just beware of a senior-to-common conversion, at which point Treasury's incentives would oppose those of the existing common. That opens the door to the existing common being worth well under $1 when FnF are finally recapped and released.
When Ackman bought some juniors in 2017, one of his stated reasons for doing so was "it hedges our risk of a restructuring that disproportionately benefits the preferred versus the common shares". That's him directly acknowledging that the juniors can outperform and that he won't necessarily be able to do anything about it.
