Yes, I think that a retired uncle being referred to in the context as basis for a shoe in hire is a bit aggravating......Especially when coming from a regional FO, It is always good decorum to at least presume that the hiring at a legacy carrier no matter how down and out, will be at least some degree of challenge. Your post that is it's tone trivializes the job at NWA at least in this reader's view and yes among some that would cause some animosity. Especially after all that has gone on in the past few years .
