No, you know what he is saying? He's saying that pilots are supposed to be in this together, especially union-affiliated pilots. The fact that they sold out some of their brethren for their own wallets, well, that is what is distasteful.
Yeah, they may not have known it would be OH, but really, how could they not, but in any event, it was going to be someone's job on the line. Someone who makes a heck of a lot less than they do and still has to put a roof over their heads and put food on the table for their families.
You'll see talk about labor and management on these threads all the time. But in this case, DAL labor went along with management in this particular case. There could easily have been some sort of *basic* provisions put in to help those who are losing their jobs.
