Fact is as stated before, a lot of these guys are paid by the hour. Therefore they are far more susceptible to management pressure. Surely an obvious flight safety issue. As for unions, forget it. This culture of contract pilots is a disgrace. I just can't imagine ever using Ryanair, the whole thing stinks. I don't think the pilots are cowards at all, just bullied and poorly treated by their management.
