He didn't slam Eagle. He was comparing the "hired, not acquired", to "80-80-80". If you don't know what 80-80-80 was, find a friendly "old" guy Captain, and ask them about it.
For the record,I never once saw an "80-80-80" sticker or pin, and never heard anyone push it as a good idea during my Eagle days. Nor have I ever seen a "hired not acquired" pin or sticker at AA.
