I think you are making an absolutely fair point pitchlink asking for nothing other than consistency.
I've run the place with Danny for 11 years now and the two parts of aviation that can't accept that this is where the pilots come voluntarily every day is rotary and Australians. Experienced pilots are in great demand. Most aren't actively looking for a change and this is where they hang out and can be tempted. Even the RAF have twigged this and will be formally advertising on the plank side very soon.
Combined with the threads detailing the real scoop around the industry worldwide works out for everyone and is a long term gentle pressure to improve T+C's. Getting pilots for nothing and with no effort by managers negates that pressure.
