I don't know that you can say someone is guilty of wanting mass increases in outsourcing just because they are on certain equipment. The vast majority of us are not on the 747 or 777 and yet we don't want to outsource those planes. I want DL pilots to do more DL flying at all levels, not less. Why can't someone on a 747 want the same thing?
Not to mention someone who goes out of their way 25/8/366 to argue that point as hard as they can, consistently, while trying to convince his peers that may not agree or "get it" yet of the same?
If your point was that we need more unity at all levels and across all deomgraphics (junior-senior, commuter-non commuter, lineholder-reserve, widebody-narrowbody, etc) then fine, but there are better ways to say it. But its not fair to automatically call someone essentially a backstabber or a drawbridge puller just because they are at a certain seniority number based on nothing more, especially while ignoring volumes of strong and articulate arguements to the contrary.
