So if a hypothetical SLI is
completely ideologically aligned with most of the line flyers, that SLI is still less-than (how I interpret “other” for only this context) as a member of the collective because they appear neutral while performing instructor duties?
This sense of “otherness” towards fellow pilots, that fly the line a lot themselves, is abhorrent. Feels very shoot-inside-the-circle esque.
