I agree with what you say, we are probably just coming at the same problem from different ends. You mention the financial costs etc involved for pilots to leave which is what I was saying about somebody will have to be the sacrificial lamb/s but nobody is prepared to be.
It would be best if the senior captains all left for hight paying Chinese commuting jobs in massive numbers causing a captain shortage. They have plenty of money and will get a good gig anywhere.
The point is the pilot group regardless of who you are need to be prepared to take a stand and say we wont stand for this crap anymore and leave in huge numbers to teach them a lesson.
All the guys who join CX after being warned how rubbish it is then have the audacity to complain 5 years down the road about how bad things are. They all took the easy option, no bond type rating with a severe case of SJS and wonder why they hate their lives.
On top of that non of them are prepared to walk away, especially in large numbers on principle even if it means you take a financial hit. Cant feel sorry for those pilots!!
