Then they should resign in large numbers and go off and get a life with a decent lifestyle. What's the point in hanging on in quiet desperation?
The likes of Qantas get away with what they do because there's a seemingly endless supply of pilots who'll accept whatever crap conditions are dished up, in the hope that 'eventually' the company - or presumably the FWC - will 'do the right thing'. There should be a unit called "Child-Like Naivety" in the CPL/ATPL syllabus.
You're just factors in production to the beancounters. The beancounters therefore spend their days trying to get as many of you commodities as cheaply as practicable.
