There are undoubtedly major 'structural' problems in this Industry (and fly by night cowboys) and yes, new entrants to this Industry are getting a very very raw deal.
But the problems are throughout the entire industry. The rest of the world has moved on and created flexible employment conditions. But we hang onto archaic practises that allow employers and a few at the top of the scale to enjoy significant advantage.
Yet those people who we pay to represent us every month through our pay packets have no plans to change our world for the better. Trebles all round?
I often wonder what EZY/FR pax would do if they knew that their FO annd CC were actually subsidising the cost of their seats. Maybe they'd have a 'whip round' like people do for coach drivers!
