Not many people seem to be paying attention to your posts. I am. And I disagree with your defeatist attitude.
I feel sorry for you having to retire with such sad experiences.
When successful, being involved in a collective campaign to improve your conditions of service is a very rewarding experience for any professional. I have been involved in some great wins over the years including pay rises of 25%.
Like you, I can retire too thanks to this great industry. But I am 40. My advice to other pilots is put up a clever fight. Don't capitulate as you suggest.
