widered,
You're very well right. That's the only way to go. But you will find it very hard to convince other fellow pilots to think like you.
I think the only way to improve your T&C's it to hit the company where it hurts them the most. And that is money. So, going on stike will probably be the only option to make management change. If they see that they are loosing money they will change. They feel now very strong because they see the pilot group very weak and that they can do whatever they want with you guys.
