Wether you like it or not I don't think any of us should project our own prejudice on others just starting out in this profession.
We all know just how hard it is to get that first step up.
What we need to be doing to protect future generations of pilots is to make management types think twice before screwing pilots.
how do you stop the rot?
A few suggestions off the top of my head.
Once accepting a job with dubious T&C's conspire with fellow workers and have preorganised "personal roster adjustment days"
No pilots no flying. They'll soon get the hint.
Join a Union. Petition that union to take management "on".
Challenge every little conniving thing Management does.
Light as many "bushfires " as you can to put the onus back onto management to put them out.
Challenge on OH&S grounds any shortcoming in your "place of work".
Write reports in order to tie up company resources.
Get your Union to petition organisations such as ausbuy.com.au
to highlight the offshoring of Aussie jobs, let the travelling public vote with their feet.Just look at Pacific Brands attempt at being "the smartest guys in the room" and how offshoring has affected their sales.
Petition your local member.
Tell family and friends.
Even small public disobedience campaigns have taken on a life of their own and toppled governments in the past.
Let's stop being victims and take the fight to management.
Even some neoclassical capitalists listen when it's their money at stake.
