I'm from Eastern Europe and i have to agree: dubious work/corporate practices all over the spectrum, not just in aviation. What still puzzles me that how did RYR got away with it in Austria: weak unions, pilots/cc not willing to sign up with unions or just nobody cared to report it to the relevant labour office, perhaps? Sometimes the most obvious course of action is missing somewhat from the equation. Report dubious work practices to your relevant labour office/ministry and leak it to the press. At least it might get people talking about it outside online forums like this.
