Why don't RYR pilots emmigrate to other airlines?? Is there a contract trick whereby pilots can't leave??

Shouldn't the growth in aviation industry improve T&Cs?? I remember from 2001 to 2004, it was sooo hard to get a pilot job, that it was somehow understandable that T&C were getting worse and many airlines were firing pilots or cutting wages... But nowdays things are better, there are new airlines, more airplanes, etc... How come conditions continue to get worse with time... I thing that now we are in advantage, we are needed for the airlines to grow, and we must apply some pressure...

What I don't get is why young pilots insist on paying for getting a job (Type rating and all) and accept being treated so badly... I know it's a nice job, but come on, ITS A JOB, we are soupossed to get paid for it and not the opossite...
