Is that a pilot who applied for and was (presumably) succesful in applying for a role? If they don't like the deal, find another job - how exactly are they 'forced' to do anything? Market forces will dictate the way forward.
It's their choice. I'm sure there are plenty of AA charities or other industries that are more to their liking. Complaining about one aspect of their employment terms is pointless.
