Good points, and legal too.

You have 3 major problems !!
Ryanair Management :- who dont have to listen too or action any BALPA recomendations.
Brookfields Contract Pilots :- Differing T & C's from RYR contracts, How many will support any action which stops them being paid, or just effects RYR pilot's T & C's.
Foreign Based Pilots :- Who can work rotations from outside the UK without reducing the schedule significantly.
You may disrupt things for a while but not long term, 100% support for what you want is practically impossible, especially where people only get paid when they fly, and they like you have bills to pay.

Sitting on the sidelines I cannot see how you can force change when you are trying to get together such a diversified group of pilots.
RYR management appear to have the situation well in hand.
And there are many pilots cadet or otherwise waiting in the wings to take your job.
