Ah, now you’re starting to get it. There’s some irony here, isn’t there?
This point was being made at the expense of the guy who was out on leave for a decade, but calling for there to be no leveling at all, all while pulling out the “so many entitled pilots” and “how long have you been at Delta?” cards.
FWIW, I don’t actually desire that new contract language.
But maybe step out of the pulpit on the topic of entitlement if you’ve not worked a single day for the company in a decade but have reaped and will continue to reap the benefits of the job.

I am ashamed that my previous posts weren’t written with enough clarity to convey what I was attempting to get across.
Back to the drawing board.

Very interesting…flew with an LCA this week and the very first words out of his mouth were “Thanks for showing up”.

Almost every SLI I’ve ever known wore the C2019 lanyards in their fly months. In addition to bag tags, hats off, and all the rest. A few APDs were hold outs I’ve seen, but even several of them were with the program.
I’ve also seen SLIs picket with their “base” council multiple times, usually C44.
I think your outside view is completely ignoring another side of the story, with no insider information to contextualize.
SLIs have to fly like everybody else, and deal with all the same scheduling shenanigans. What exactly is it about operating a simulator for flight training that makes them management adjacent in your mind?
