The axe-grinding here is, e.g. "over-pensioned" and "providing no benefit to anyone". This is awkward language, I'm not sure it contributes. If the poster had said, "The FAA is wasteful and does not need to exist" that's perhaps an interesting topic that could be discussed. "They're over-paid over-pensioned trawling YouTube all day" doesn't really lend itself to a useful discussion IMO. Maybe it's subtle but attitude matters.
