This sense of “otherness” towards fellow pilots, that fly the line a lot themselves, is abhorrent. Feels very shoot-inside-the-circle esque.
It's called unity and they should wear contract lanyards.
Just like I believe all union pilots should wear ALPA lanyards (not company lanyards) year round and also wear their ALPA pins.
The best LCAs wore their contract lanyards sans hat last round as well (most wore their hats though unfortunately).
Showing unity is important in a union.
