His statement is akin to my stating Jennifer Anniston is in my bedroom, but, it is not Ms. Anniston, but it is a woman.
You're totally missing Tom's point. I've bolded it below for you:

That is unarguably correct. I don't know if it was Ron Allen or Leo Mullin because I was at NWA at the time. You weren't here either. Tom was. Might have been both guys, because "a contract is a contract" wasn't invented by either one of them.
The one certainty, is management blaming pilot salary. The other much newer certainty, is the number of young pilots who parrot this nonsense.
