but you will be forever looked down upon for accepting the low T&C
you will have ZERO benefits compared to some ab initio (provided you start as SO at same time). even worse while you're out there "gaining experience", if some ab initio gets to S/O first, he/she will progress far ahead of you in seniority.
You are sort of correct but missing the bigger picture.
If you all joined as Ab-initio there are no advantages. The only advantages are for CX who've successfully reduced the conditions of new joiners.
By not accepting, CX will have to raise it.
The more of you that 'get to S/O first' ensures the deal will never be improved. The guy who goes out to get real flying experience, can see that this deal is no good and wants something better. That's why relatively nobody has accepted it.
