We cannot get pilots to stick together, i bumped into an old mate of mine just the other day and he is now upgrading from PPL to CPL (he has got money) cos another mate has offered him a job a couple of days per week flying for FREE, ya know just to help out.....That is why the industry is in such bad shape, i have met many pilots who will work for free to get their foot in the door then when it comes to organising some action they will be the ones to scab.
I wish i knew this when i got into this industry, i would have gone to uni and got a real job instead.
sorry to rant
