Unless he was on the negotiating committee (he wasn’t) then he has no more “experience with the management team” than anyone else.

As for what we can expect from management? It’s not really some secret: The absolute least amount of ground they have to concede to keep the metal moving. In the history of airline negotiations there has never been a management group who have come to the table with empathy and concern that pilots will feel validated and appreciated. Any gains they concede will be solely out of recognition of pilot market scarcity, and not one single dollar more.

Anything above that will require pilot unity, which is where his opinion and vote means the same as the noob he told to keep their mouth shut.
