Standard, you sound like one angry aggrieved person. Maybe you feel you have good reason.

It is hard to reconcile "working together", "united we bargain" etc with accusing the elected representatives of J* pilots with "backstabbing "to secure their own position".

There are plenty of qualified pilots to fill any Jet* seats it is just the fact that management want to crew these flights as cheap as possible, and are happy to risk safety (by utilising less qualified, perhaps inadequatly trained/ experienced pilots) to do so!!!!
Naturally management wants to employ pilots as cheaply as possible, just as pilots want to be paid as much as possible. Why would you think management would want to risk safety? Their jobs depend on safety as well.

All pilots have been "less experienced/qualified" at some time in their career. There is no evidence that J* employs "inadaquately trained/experienced pilots" as you suggest.

I would like to suggest you take a deep breath, look at yourself in a clear light and chill out a little. Think about how to contribute something positive and constructive to the future instead of belittling the efforts of others, that you so clearly no little about.
