Assuming he's working at a regional airline and not a corporate operator, it's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.
I wouldn't call it "the pot calling the kettle black" unless he is voting for poor pay or contract rules. If he went to a start up then yes, that might be appropriate but I don't know of any saab start ups. As for saying there's going to be some upcoming pilot shortage, it's kind of BS. There maybe an increase in hiring and retirements but I have yet to see any of the pilot shortages that people ranted and raved about in the past.
