at the end of the day a contract or agreement is legally binding so it can not be just a one way amendment.
the really issue is that if such occurrence keep happening then eventually aircrews are going to hit minimum wage because of your mindset people will be paying to fly (p2fly schemes) and that is not a very good image of a flag carrier to have..... from the tone you have, i imagine you have a very narrow field of view on how such things effect not only monetary terms but one performance and global image of the business itself.
if you really care about THY ( i do as an expat working for the company for 12 years+) then sacrifice half your salary wait lets put you on minimum wage without consulting you..
and you are right people are free to leave but don't think its so easy to relocate start conversion training and start at the bottom of the stack in seniority list....
just ember this
