What do you want him to do? Drag out a crappy regional career longer than needed and lose a boatload of career earnings in the process? I don’t blame the guy at all. Unions can improve contracts without scaring off any pilot approaching 1500 TT.
Plus, as has been noted above already, you can always jump ship to a different regional with better conditions and long-term outlook (Republic comes to mind) later if the majors don’t come calling.
