Chicken or the egg?

Get some self respect and a Spine before you start asking others to clean up your own mess!
Hmmm... Who is spineless here?

1) Could it be the spineless EZY pilots (with a fixed contract and union representation) allowing their colleagues to be exploited in such a way by their company?

or perhaps,

2) The 'spineless' cadets (without any contract/leverage/union and thus in an extremely vulnerable situation) starting a scheme under, back then, favorable conditions in the hope of a career as a pilot?

This 'everybody fend for themselves' mentality (something I've also unfortunately witnessed in NSF's rant against Astraeus) is the crux of the problem in the decay of T&C's. Everybody expects 'the other guy' to do the dirty work in order to protect the T&C's of the entire industry. Do you really expect a fair and good contract for yourself if you treat your fellow pilots like this?
