He's doing exactly what he was trained to do in a corporate environment. Every time you talk to another group you talk about how your group is doing an excellent job, and how your team is special. Then, other groups form an opinion of the network group as being smart, in demand, and future leaders of the company.
The problem is, none of the pilots care. We are not on the corporate ladder. We're just here to do our jobs and go home. Corporate-speak is wasted on us, and we tend to react negatively to it.
It's a classic know your audience type of situation.
