Easy for you to call people shortsighted and daft when you are sitting pretty with currency and experience on type. Many don't have the luxury of your position. If you have debts to service from training then you take the first job you can get. Are you seriously suggesting an unemployed pilot should refuse their opportunity to get on the ladder at somewhere like easy to preserve the terms and conditions of those already fortunate to have airline jobs?
I agree with you that easy TRSS and its like are dragging industry T&Cs down, but it has bugger all to do with the people taking these jobs via such schemes. It has everything to do with A*sehole management who will gladly screw their mother over to make sure they get their maximum yearly bonus.
So blame them.
